Sustainable Design

Sustainability

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are universal factors in nearly every business and investment decision today. We approach every project with an innovation mindset, looking for opportunities to apply sustainable concepts in efficient, cost-effective ways. We incorporate lasting and resilient features and technologies that represent your own sustainability commitment.

The growing target of a circular economy and no-waste society puts the focus squarely on all of us to become stewards of our resources, using efficient processes and incorporating products that, at the ends of their useful lives, can be reclaimed or repurposed.

Powering the Future for Communities and Companies

Sustainability innovations touch every industry. With fleet electrification initiatives and electric vehicle infrastructure development, we are on the forefront of changes to transportation systems. We support efficient campus energy production and clean energy technology at industrial ports. We work with companies evolving to refine and produce biofuels, supporting a move to more environmentally friendly feedstocks for multiple products and industries.

We design projects that conserve, generate or distribute energy. We advance the transition to renewable energy: wind and solar design development, offshore wind interconnection, biofuels, hydropower and biomass. We leverage our electric transmission and distribution experience to deliver energy from renewable power sources to the communities where the power is used. We also are tackling the complex and progressive development of battery energy storage facilities.

We design buildings that function efficiently, taking advantage of advanced systems and building controls to achieve optimized energy management. These high-performing projects can sustain or increase performance over buildings’ life cycles, reducing environmental impacts and operating costs.

We help municipalities develop green infrastructure, envision solid waste and recycling programs that target zero waste goals and utilize methane capture for energy generation. We design efficient water treatment systems that help solve complex sustainability challenges while increasing operational efficiency.

Our environmental scientists protect sensitive habitats and threatened species, restore damaged sites, and develop environmental offsets that make critical projects possible.
