At SMMA, Sustainable design focuses on maximizing efficiency, incorporating low-carbon and healthy strategies, minimizing impact, and designing for a resilient future.
Our experts bring resilient design thinking to each project, maximizing energy performance while prioritizing resource conservation. From early site planning through design, operation, and maintenance, we commit to meeting today’s objectives while confronting the realities of a changing climate. We believe that climate readiness strategies and their associated investments can, and should, work hand-in-hand in helping you meet your sustainability goals.
From electrification of heating to carbon neutrality and healthy materials, sustainable building systems have never been more visible—or better integrated—in the built environment. To us, this integration is what we mean by design excellence: sustainable building systems that are well designed, high performing, and innovative.

“What excites me right now is the pace we’re setting not only with new net-zero buildings, but with redesigning and adapting existing buildings to reach net-zero carbon emissions. Not only is this achievable, we’re actually doing it. It shows tremendous progress in helping communities to prepare for the future.”
