Sustainable Design

As stewards of the built environment, we have considerable influence over how the future is realized.

The places where we live, work and play represent the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the US and worldwide. Fortunately, the design and construction industry has made significant strides toward creating high performance buildings of all types and uses. As a result, the industry is positioned to have a profound impact by continuing to foster high building performance and reducing building-related greenhouse gas emissions.

OKW’s Sustainable Action Group leads the charge within our office in sourcing environmentally friendly, regenerative, and sustainable materials, practices, and vendors. The goal is to ensure that each project achieves the best possible result for our clients, their communities, and the surrounding environment.
