It is clear that the sustainable design and construction of buildings and space is a growing priority throughout the country. The GSA has mandated a LEED Silver standard of design for all large projects, and many Universities and municipalities have followed suit with similar requirements. Corporations are looking to green building techniques to reduce their energy and real estate costs and improve their image.

In the context of construction, efforts to make the resulting product more sustainable have the following goals: - Minimize the depletion of natural resources - Project the natural environment - Ensure a healthy human environment - Reduce life cycle costs

Mekus Tanager and our consultants understand the importance of sustainable, energy efficient design. With each project, we take great care in researching and implementing sustainable design solutions while meeting tight budgets for all of our projects. Mekus Tanager is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council.
