sectors


Green Schools

The US Green Building Council decided in 2002 that K-12 schools are a specific building type more critical than other environments.  We agree with this thinking.

Retail

Since two thirds of our nation’s GDP is based upon consumer spending, our retail footprint in square feet of shopping per capita is far greater than other countries.

Supermarkets

Of the dozens of various retail types, supermarkets have among the highest energy intensity, and certainly the highest intensity of any building type that consumers typically engage on a daily basis.
