Sionas Architecture’s commitment to building Green is backed up by two new commercial projects currently in line to receive LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification upon completion. To achieve a LEED designation, there must be a carefully thought out approach to sustainability throughout the whole site with attention focused on water savings, reuse of existing building components, energy efficiency, use of non-toxic building materials, improved indoor air quality, and waste reduction. The end product is measurably environmentally friendlier and will consistently reduce operating costs for property owners. Whether designing an entire complex or specific elements, thinking Green is right for all building types.
