SUSTAINABLE DESIGN & CONSULTING
DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT GROUP
Green building, or sustainable design, is the effort to create more efficient buildings.
Green and Sustainable buildings use less energy, water, and materials, and reduce impacts on human health and the environment. DMG’s Sustainable building design service provides buildings that save on operating expenses, improve the owner’s bottom line profit, and provide marketing benefits.
Sustainable Design can be applied in the design of new buildings and can also be used to improve existing buildings.
Many owners choose to use a third-party green building certification system to achieve a sustainable building. These systems provide a framework to prove that the building is more sustainable and allow added marketing benefits. DMG has accredited professionals experienced in many sustainable building certification systems, including LEED, EDGE, TREES, WELL, and TRUE Zero Waste. Please see more information on our Sustainable Building Certification page.
