Sustainable EDGE Ltd. offers a
comprehensive service in sustainable design and engineering.
Sustainable EDGE, an Ecological Design and Green Engineering practice, continues
to build on its 25 year history. Sustainable
EDGE provides leadership in sustainable design through
realization of exemplary projects by team collaboration of
like-minded professionals. Through an integrated design
process, we work with design teams toward achieving a
sustainable product that addresses the Seven Principles of Sustainable
Design. Sustainable EDGE also is conscious of
serving a role for inspiration and training of the next
generation of sustainable design professionals.
Goal
At Sustainable EDGE, we strive to
expand the boundaries of sustainable design beyond merely
reducing negative impacts. Our designs aim to enhance the
health of occupants and their surrounding air, water, land,
and communities, with a focus on simple and elegant integrated
solutions. In working toward these goals, we achieve high
scores in the leading standards of success, including LEED certification
and Living Building Challenge. The final product is a
sustainable project that is beneficial to the owner, users,
the environment and future generations.
The
EDGE
Sustainable design need not add
cost, only value. Many of the energy-saving strategies we
incorporate, such as passive solar heating and natural
ventilation, require little or no additional cost. Employing
an integrated design process allows us to capture synergies of
strategic measures, reducing capital and design costs. Through
significant reductions in energy use and maintenance
requirements, our designs also result in appreciably lower
operating cost, offsetting capital costs of the emergent and
innovative technologies we employ.
Sustainable EDGE believes that
collaborative design and implementation of sustainable
measures is the key to the success of a green building. We
have a history of successful team building and offer
coordination of all sustainable engineering disciplines as
appropriate to the client.
