“Sustainable Design Consulting’s experience and knowledge working with many sustainability standards has made a complex and challenging project not only successful, but a pleasure to work on. Renovation of an existing 1930’s masonry structure with the goal of achieving LEED Gold, ILFI Living Building Challenge Petal Certification, as well as meeting the clients own internal program and aggressive EUI would not have been possible without SDC’s involvement in the project. They showed dedication through all phases of the project, educating, collaborating, and providing structured feedback to a large team of stakeholders. They helped the team make informed decisions and kept the project on track to achieve all sustainable design standards sought. We hope to have the opportunity to work with SDC on future projects.”
