Sustainable Design

Lord Aeck Argent aims to craft buildings with positive impacts on inhabitants and the environment, adopting sustainability since the early 1990s. Analytical approaches are utilized to optimize building performance, exemplified by our early adoption of The 2030 Challenge, striving for renewable-powered buildings by 2030. Our design team, inclusive of LEED-accredited architects and specialists in daylighting and energy analysis, seamlessly integrates sustainable strategies into projects, having certified over 90 LEED projects and attained Living Building Challenge Certification for the Kendeda Building. Committed to equitable workplaces, Lord Aeck Sargent earned a JUST Label in 2017, exemplifying our dedication to social responsibility.

Sustainability is ingrained in Lord Aeck Sargent's design ethos, recognizing the urgency of addressing climate change and prioritizing high-performance, energy-efficient design. Emphasizing functionality, sensitivity to site conditions, efficiency, responsibility in material selection, and promoting healthful indoor environments, our designs reflect a holistic approach to sustainability. Leveraging in-house capabilities for energy simulations and analyses, we optimize building performance through a four-step hierarchy, integrating an early multidisciplinary design process to identify project-specific opportunities and achieve sustainability goals without added cost. At Lord Aeck Sargent, sustainability isn't an afterthought but a fundamental aspect of our design philosophy.
