Environment + Sustainability

10.65M sq ft

Operational Zero Energy Facilities

Engineered over 10.65 million square feet of operational Zero Energy facilities, showcasing commitment to energy efficiency and renewable integration.

7M sq ft

Operational Zero Carbon Facilities

Delivered 7 million square feet of operational Zero Carbon facilities, demonstrating leadership in carbon neutrality.

50M sq ft

Zero Energy Ready Facilities

Delivered 50 million square feet of Zero Energy Ready facilities designed to meet energy efficiency standards (<35 EUI).

1,050 metric tons

CO₂ Reduction Annually

Catawba College's solar panels reduce 1,050 metric tons of CO₂ annually, equivalent to removing 193 vehicles from the road.

Pioneered the first Zero Energy school in the U.S. (Richardsville Elementary, 2010), first WELL-certified & Zero Carbon school (John Lewis Elementary BCPS, 2021), first Zero Carbon Behavioral Health Hospital (Brockton BHC, 2022), and first Carbon-Positive hotel design (Populus Hotel).
Zero Energy design philosophy: achieve drastic energy reduction first, then add renewables to minimize system size and optimize investment.
Led multiple net-zero school projects in VA and DC, achieving EUIs under 20 via solar arrays, geothermal HVAC, all-electric systems, and real-time energy dashboards.
Supported Catawba College in achieving carbon neutrality in April 2023—seven years ahead of its 2030 target—through on-site renewable energy, efficiency upgrades, geothermal systems, electrification, and offsets.
Catawba’s solar panels generate ~7 million kWh annually, saving ~$5 million over 20 years.
Catawba geothermal heat pumps eliminate ~265 MMBtu natural gas and ~145,724 kWh electricity (~51 metric tons CO₂/year).
Net-zero (zero energy) target already achieved in numerous projects; corporate net-zero goal implied via built portfolio.
