Sustainable EDGE brings a 25-year history of sustainable projects
and of addressing climate change emissions in the built environment.
With a strong commitment to providing more than simply climate
neutral design, EDGE collaborates with other professionals to look
for every opportunity to repair and nurture ecological systems.
“Now that climate change is upon us, we must not only do our utmost
to reverse it, we must both revisit first principles and develop new
techniques, to provide responsible design for the physical, social
and economic changes that will occur,” says Mario Kani.
In 1982, Mario started working with Greg Allen at Allen-Drerup-White
Ltd., a low energy building design and construction firm. In 1985,
Mario and Greg formed the Partnership of Allen Kani Associates, a
sustainable technologies engineering firm. In 2003, Allen Kani
Associates reorganized as Sustainable EDGE Ltd., of which Mario now
holds the position of President.
Sustainable EDGE is devoted to servicing all sectors of the built
environment that might benefit from sustainable design. From basic
shelter to large scale projects and community development, where
triple-bottom line decision-making is key, EDGE is ready to offer
their leadership and practical knowledge. We recognize that a high
degree of sustainable performance is not always possible in an
individual project and by developing green infrastructures in
concert, a truly sustainable community can result.
We continue to provide our traditional services:
-
Comprehensive sustainable consulting
-
Technical assistance to architects and other clients on sustainable products and practices
-
Sustainable energy engineering and planning
-
Full service sustainable mechanical engineering of residential, institutional, and commercial buildings
Through collaboration with other innovative engineering firms,
Sustainable EDGE can provide single-contact sustainable engineering
project management, particularly for electrical engineering and
alternative water/waste treatment engineering.
