GreenShape supports the unique needs of each client. Working in tandem with your leadership, we help you successfully achieve your sustainability goals.
To each project, we bring:
- Proven Process Customized to your Needs — At GreenShape we apply time-tested techniques gleaned from our experience on over 200 green projects to help you succeed. Our sustainability coaches work directly with all members of your project team to inform decision-making about the environmental, financial and operational implications of design, construction and operational choices.
- Professional Facilitation and Problem-Solving — Our highly experienced educators are skilled at facilitating even the toughest discussions. We are adept at helping each member of the project team master whole-systems design concepts and navigate implementation details. Drawing from our extensive field experience and knowledge of up-to-date technologies and resources, GreenShape guides our clients through each stage of project development and documentation to ensure that the owner’s short-term and long-term priorities are successfully met.
- Creativity and Pragmatism — GreenShape’s expertise and creativity helps our clients do more with less, which is especially critical in the current financial climate. We help our clients protect themselves from rising costs by investing in efficient buildings that last. Our clients have all met their initial greening and LEED® certification targets, and many have far exceeded them. This is why you will not see many LEED- rated buildings at the certified level in our portfolio- most have achieved at the Silver level or higher despite budgetary constraints.
In working with you, GreenShape will help you effectively:
- Utilize a Whole-System Approach — We acknowledge the inter-connectedness of the natural and built environment. GreenShape helps our clients create dynamic relationships between these systems to the benefit of all.
- Engage Others — We understand the power of open dialogue. We involve all players in identifying solutions to common and uncommon challenges.
- Invest Resources Wisely — Whether its time, money, materials or energy, we hate to see anything go to waste. We help our clients prioritize and utilize processes that conserve resources, both up-front and long-term.
- Develop Project-Specific, Place-Based Solutions — We honor the local climate, natural systems, architectural vernacular and cultural influences in helping our clients develop solutions for each unique situation.
