sustainability
Efficiency, Economy and Flexibility are the starting point for our projects. Our research into materials, systems, and methods of construction apply to all scales of engagement.
We are involved in educational, research and professional endeavors with individuals and organizations striving for broad-scale transformation in our relationship to the natural environment, and looking for partners in that effort.
STAVE has adopted the 2030 Challenge which calls for a gradual reduction in building energy consumption over the next 20 years with a target of carbon neutrality by 2030. This policy has also been adopted by the AIA and the US Conference of Mayors. These goals are achievable, have already been demonstrated by local and national projects, and we are excited by the rich living and working environments that flow from this commitment.
Of the triple bottom line of sustainability (environmental, economic and social), we're also participating in Public Architecture's 1 Percent Solution , contributing pro bono design services to local non-profits.
