Real Numbers, Honest Impact

Look, we're not gonna sugarcoat it - sustainable architecture is hard work. But here's where we actually stand, what we've accomplished, and where we're still figuring things out.

Certifications We've Actually Earned

We've been through the wringer with these - and honestly? Some were tougher than others. Here's what we're certified in and what it actually means for your project.

LEED Accredited Professional

Three of our senior architects hold this - took ages to get, but it means we can navigate LEED certification without making your life hell.

Passive House Consultant

Yeah, we went there. The energy modeling alone is... intense. But when you want near-zero heating bills, this is how you do it.

CaGBC Member in Good Standing

Canada Green Building Council - we're active members and keep up with all the latest green building standards and code changes.

Interactive Impact Calculator

Slide these around to see roughly what kind of impact we could make on your project. It's based on our past work, so it's ballpark accurate.

What We're Actually Doing

Not just in client projects - here's what we practice in our own operations.

Carbon-Neutral Site Visits

We offset all our travel emissions and encourage cycling to sites when possible. Yeah, we actually bike to job sites in good weather.

Digital-First Documentation

We've cut our paper use by about 90% since 2021. Everything's digital unless a contractor really needs a physical print.

Local Material Sourcing

We've built relationships with Ontario suppliers and salvage yards. Keeps transport emissions down and supports local businesses.

Ongoing Education

Our team does quarterly training on new sustainable tech and methods. This field moves fast - gotta keep up.

Where We're Still Learning

Real talk - we don't have it all figured out. Here's what we're working on getting better at:

Embodied Carbon Tracking

We're getting better at calculating the full carbon footprint of materials, but it's trickier than you'd think. Supply chains are complicated.

Post-Occupancy Monitoring

We'd love to track every building's performance for years after completion, but it's resource-intensive. Working on a better system for this.

Cost Optimization

Sustainable doesn't have to mean expensive, but we're still finding ways to bring costs down without compromising performance.

Transparency matters to us. We'd rather be honest about our limitations than oversell what we can do. If you've got insights or experience in these areas, we're all ears.

Want the Detailed Breakdown?

We've got project-specific case studies, detailed energy models, and material specs. If you're serious about sustainable building, let's get into the weeds together.
