3 Reasons for an Early Sustainability Feasibility Study for Your Project

Evolving green building and energy codes impact the cost assessment and early schematic design of projects, which building owners and design teams must understand.  Sustainability feasibility studies are undertaken early in the construction document (CD) phase to effectively address sustainability goals and requirements without impacting the design or construction process.  Early sustainability feasibility studies help design teams assess sustainability impacts, align the owner’s requirements, and avoid costly delays and scope creep that lead to increased soft and hard costs.  They also consider above-code requirements, such as all-electric construction, photovoltaic installation, third-party rating programs, and/or other sustainable project development solutions.
