RLPS works with our clients to integrate cost-efficient, sustainable design strategies into every project, balancing the design principals of “high performance” with the maintainability, cost control and practicality of high quality design.
The RLPS team collaborates with our engineering and building envelope consultants to provide you with viable considerations for energy efficiency and stewardship initiatives even if formal certification is not the final goal. Sustainable architecture strategies and associated results vary based on stewardship objectives, site parameters, budget realities and individual project goals.
RLPS works with every client to define sustainable design goals and then evaluate opportunities for operational efficiencies and cost savings, including potential energy credits. We have been involved in the following LEED Certified projects:
Landis Place on King was designed to NGBS Gold Certification standards, aiming to be 20-30% more efficient than conventional builds saving residents energy costs. Additionally, native plants on the patios, street trees, and a green sedum roof help to “green” the urban setting.
