Sustainability

DRCA Sustainability recognized as a common sense thread for Architecture, Interiors and Planning creates a triple win for clients: good for business, people and the planet. DRCA Architecture, as a holistic practice, approaches every project as an opportunity to enhance building, organizational, human and environmental performance — the core goals of sustainable design. Environmental responsible practice considers how decisions made today affect lives tomorrow. While LEED certification may not be a goal, quantifiable statements regarding a project’s stewardship of the environment, healthier, more productive workplace and lower operating costs identifies a “green project” to all that use it. Such a design focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use – energy, water and materials – reduce human impacts on the environment and provide cost savings to the client in flexibility, operating costs and long term occupant satisfaction. These ingredients properly balanced create DRCA Sustainable Architecture
