ABA’s approach to sustainable design influences and guides our decisions from the initial concepts to completion of construction. With over 30 years of experience with renovation and re-use of existing buildings, we have learned much about intelligent planning, addressing issues like climate control, prevailing sun and wind exposures, natural day lighting, ventilation, and the long-term performance of materials. As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, ABA has 10 LEED Accredited Professionals on staff and multiple projects with LEED Certification or pending LEED Certification.
