Sustainable Solutions

Federal, state and local agencies, as well as businesses of all types, are expected to achieve balance between economic, social, and environmental objectives. As a result, most organizations have developed a “green” vision for their future but aren’t sure how to achieve that vision. WESTON^® can turn that vision into successful and sustainable facilities, operations, projects, and buildings.

WESTON employs a combination of innovative financial and technical solutions, coupled with proactive stakeholder engagement to create customized approaches to addressing our clients’ sustainability goals. Our approach to sustainability is to maximize the Return on Investment (ROI) derived from each project, while meeting environmental and social objectives. We are not wedded to certain technologies or analytical approaches and are willing to take on a wide range of roles?from consulting to construction to operation?as dictated by client needs.

WESTON’s sustainable solutions are grouped into two categories:

Green Development
Using a complete range of sustainability technologies, materials, and strategies to revitalize properties and communities

• Green Construction Management–creating high-performance sustainable buildings using environmentally-responsible and resource-efficient processes throughout the development lifecycle
• Sustainable Infrastructure–design and implementation of sustainable approaches to infrastructure to support large-scale development projects
• LEED^® Consulting–incorporating sustainable design principles, from planning through design and construction, focusing on overall value, not just LEED certification
• GreenGrid^® Roofs–vegetated roof systems that reduce stormwater runoff, improve energy efficiency, and extend roof life.

Sustainable Operations
Improving operations to maximize the sustainability of fixed and natural assets

• Sustainable Facilities Operations–reducing a facility’s resource requirements and waste to maximize efficiency and economic value
• Climate Change–addressing the need to evaluate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, determine options for carbon market transactions, and analyze climate change adaptation options
• Ecosystem/Watershed Management–restoring, maintaining, or enhancing the economic and environmental value of key natural resources
• Water Conservation/Reuse–using water more efficiently to reduce costs and operational risk, as well as to meet the increasing number of water use reduction goals
