According to the EPA, In the United States, buildings account for:
The built environment has a vast impact on the environment, human health, and the economy. By adopting green building strategies, we can maximize both economic and environmental performance. Green construction methods can be integrated into buildings at any stage, from design and construction, to renovation and deconstruction. However, the most significant benefits can be obtained if the design and construction team takes an integrated approach from the earliest stages of a building project. Building green can take on many forms and designs can be created to achieve energy savings at various levels of compliance and certification. MAP follows the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) guidelines as published by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). There are different sets of standards for new construction or major renovations (LEED-NC) than there are for existing building operations (LEED-EB). Building owners and operators can determine their own goals based on economics and their desire to be environmentally sensitive. LEED guidelines go beyond typical energy conservation to include categories such as water efficiency, indoor chemical emissions, recycled material content and more. That is why there are several milestones and recognition levels that can be achieved, from certified, to silver, to gold, to platinum. MAP can serve as the Energy and LEED expert. Building owners, developers and architects all can benefit from our unmatched experience in engineering and implementing energy projects. With projects receiving LEED Platinum rating, our team of engineers can bring practical experience and the latest technology to your building project. MAP partners provide energy efficient Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) design services. Emphasis is placed on clearly defining the initial design concept and performance parameters for design-build contracts, design and specification of resource efficient modifications or new construction for HVAC by using fundamental engineering design principals rather than conventional rules of thumb. We also assist in energy efficient design of lighting and building envelope systems, on-site power generation and selection of appliances and process equipment.
