As early as the 1980s, principal Stan Humphries was involved with providing design review to a wide range of projects to save energy while minimizing construction costs. That experience reinforced the necessity on every project to evaluate the system costs, minimize the energy costs of the system and determine whether a payback of the system can justify the cost of the higher efficiency systems.
Budget and higher efficiency systems have always been a priority in our business. Stan has been a LEEDTM Accredited Professional since the early 2000s when LEEDTM was being established. LEEDTM comes easy to Stan as it provides a framework to plan more efficient building systems, something he has been doing his entire career. Stan was very excited to see LEEDTM and Green Building enter the main stream when AEC had a booth at the 2006 Greenbuild Conference in Denver.
What’s the best system for your project? There may be one or multiple systems that can help you meet your team’s ideas and goals for the project. We have the tools, background and technical expertise to meet your goals. Let us help you determine the most efficient design for your application.
