  Buildings in the United States currently consume more than 30 percent of our total energy and 60 percent of our electricity annually. The goal of green or sustainable building design is to meet today’s consumption needs without borrowing resources from future generations.

A member of the United States Green Building Council, BVH has LEED Accredited Professionals on staff for each engineering discipline. As a proponent of sustainable design, BVH looks for opportunities to incorporate energy efficient systems in our new construction and renovation projects to reduce the operating costs of a building. These systems include photovoltaic arrays, demand reduction, day lighting, heat recovery, geothermal, and high efficiency HVAC systems.
In addition to reduced operating costs, these systems are resource efficient, environmentally responsive, and beneficial to the community. We continue to strive to identify new opportunities to design energy efficient buildings in a cost-effective manner.
