Sustainability
It’s a new era in construction and restoration, with LEED and other building rating system at the forefront of many projects.
Effective air and vapor barriers, masonry and sustainable building design are a natural fit. The envelope of a building is critical to its energy efficiency and overall performance. That’s why our project management teams are certified in LEED and similar rating systems and always learning more to stay current with sustainable technologies and practices.
Masonry, with its durability, local or regional manufacturing, and thermal mass characteristics, meets many of the goals of sustainable building design. We utilize the latest environmentally friendly techniques and solutions on historic and non-historic restorations. We incorporate nonabrasive cleaning methods and nontoxic solutions to clean even the most stubborn pollutants from brick and stone buildings.
Many of our projects incorporate the installation of air and vapor barrier systems in conjunction with the masonry scope of work. The expertise in both of these fields provides our clients with sole source responsibility for the building envelope and the proper guidance towards a LEED certified project.
