Approach to Sustainability

Designing resource-efficient buildings has been an integral facet of our firm since our inception. With LEED Accredited Professionals accounting for more than half of our staff, Chamberlin Architects is a proven leader in energy-efficient design.

The U.S. Green Building Council has awarded a LEED Gold rating to four of our projects, and we have two more anticipated LEED Gold projects under construction. We typically use a sustainability checklist to identify green building systems and features even when a project is not seeking formal certification.

We think creatively to identify ways to achieve the maximum efficiency with the least cost. Starting with the under­standing that the buildings we design are going to be used for decades, we specify materials and systems that will be efficient, durable and maintainable far into the future.
