Working toward a more sustainable future.
Sustainability
Olivieri Brothers, Architects is taking the sustainable design firm lead in the Southwest suburbs. We evaluate every project for energy efficiency and for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating. We recognize that sustainable design and building energy use is important, and we’ve taken the first steps to inform our clients about how our buildings use energy.
We have also begun tracking completed projects and select new projects to follow for the ENERGY STAR® rating. Our High Point One office building (ENERGY STAR 2009) uses roughly 40% less energy than an average office building. All of that savings is realized by the building owner.
Though not all existing buildings will qualify for the ENERGY STAR, the first step is to track and document your building energy use. For new construction, a few easy to incorporate strategies will ensure that your building performs well above average.
We will work with you to determine your sustainable design goals, energy use targets, and efficiency goals.
