Treanor Sustainable Design
Treanor Architects feels a global responsibility in the way we operate and in the designs we create. We use sustainable design principles to improve energy efficiency through the use of an integrated design process, life cycle costing, utilization of current energy standards, and the specification of energy efficient material systems and equipment.
Achieving LEED certification requires cooperation and consideration from project inception. Integration of the owner’s requirements, users’ needs, architectural design, systems engineering, procurement and construction is the foundation of any sustainable building. But the certification process is not simple, nor is it always the most inexpensive option.
Whether seeking LEED certification or simply seeking environmentally responsible facilities, Treanor works with clients to assess needs and create the best plan for each individual project. We conduct value assessments to determine how an increased initial investment may balance out energy savings in the long run. We explore these options alongside the client and offer our insight and experience in helping them decide which avenues of sustainability to pursue.
Treanor is a leader in designing facilities that preserve natural resources and provide a healthier environment. Our firm has seen four of its projects reach LEED certification. Nineteen additional projects are LEED registered or employ sustainable design principles.
