Environment + Sustainability
70% pEUI
Building Energy Efficiency
Achieved significant energy use intensity reduction for the Ferguson Headquarters 3 project compared to baseline.
73% pEUI
Adaptive Reuse Efficiency
Reduced energy use intensity for the Car Barn Adaptive Reuse project compared to baseline.
Signatory to AIA 2030 Commitment: design all new buildings and major renovations to be carbon neutral by 2030
Member of Structural Engineering 2050 Challenge: eliminate embodied carbon in structural systems by 2050
Joined MEP 2040 Challenge: achieve net zero operational carbon by 2030 and net zero embodied carbon by 2040
Average predicted Energy Use Intensity (pEUI) reduction slightly exceeding national average
Building Science Group provides energy modeling (concept through construction) to improve EUI and reduce operating costs
Use of tools Tally and EC3 for embodied carbon calculations; publication of Embodied Carbon Action Plan annually
Material sourcing focus: reduce transport emissions, use low‑carbon concrete mixes (SCMs), recycled‑content steel, region‑based mass timber when viable
