Jacques Whitford is a North American leader in the delivery of sustainable building solutions. Through all stages of a facility's lifecycle, Jacques Whitford identifies economic opportunities to optimize building and environmental performance.
Sustainable building is the practice of simultaneously meeting high standards of environmental, energy, and economic conservation. Effective green buildings will:
- Reduce operating costs through the use of less energy, water and waste generation;
- Improved public and occupant health and increased productivity due to better indoor air quality; and,
- Reduced environmental impacts through lessening storm water runoff, reducing heat island effect and the selection of energy effecient materials.
