Sustainable design
Thompson Ehle Company is committed to taking a proactive role in promoting the design of facilities that significantly reduces or eliminate the negative impact on the environment and occupants. Our Professionals play a key role in ensuring that an integrated sustainable design approach sets environmental goals, defines “Green” design intent, and establishes definable metrics is achieved on all projects that have LEED, Energy Star, Net Zero, or another energy sustainability accreditation as a goal. Thompson Ehle Company’s sustainable design services include documentation of LEED credits with USGBC; energy models; lighting design photometrics; energy models and studies; energy audits and LEED Credit feasibility studies. Striving for Sustainable design is largely driven by design options to achieve energy savings, from building envelope glass and insulating properties to actual systems modifications.
