Sustainability is a guiding principle at Sundt. We are committed to serve as an example to our industry and the country as a whole by integrating environmental awareness and responsibility throughout our company and for our clients.
There are many reasons to go green – and these advantages extend far beyond the environmental benefits. Green building practices reduce energy consumption and waste as well as related costs, saving you money now and in the long term.
On average, green buildings use 30 percent less energy than conventional buildings and offer lower operation and maintenance costs. These buildings also increase productivity and profitability as they improve the overall air quality and create a better indoor environment in which to work, live, learn or play.
LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (LEED®)
The demand for sustainable design is growing, as is our experience. We employ over 175 LEED-accredited professionals and have built numerous environmentally-friendly construction projects, including Building B of the Biodesign Institute of Arizona, the first LEED Platinum building certified in the Southwest. Sundt also built the Sony Electronics North American Headquarters in San Diego, Calif., which is one of the largest projects to be LEED certified in Southern California. Sundt also has experience on several other rating systems for sustainable construction including the Energy Star™ and Green Globes™ rating tools.
Sundt is involved in over $1.6 billion worth of projects that have already attained or are designed to achieve LEED certification.
