Green Building Consulting

Making your building more "eco-friendly" or "green" is a decision best made on individual cases. Normally, the age of a building and its systems, how the building is used and the existing condition of building systems will indicate a "best-case" scenario for implementing a "green" plan.

Buildings use approximately 45% of all energy and other scarce resources consumed and contribute to the production of approximately 45% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on the planet. The case for "greening" your building can be easily made.

Planning "green" is a continuous process. Advancements in systems and controls are continually being made. Our knowledge of best strategies is steadily evolving, and adjustments in human behavior occur gradually.

ESSEX can lead you through the process from an initial energy use audit to a complete long-range plan for improvements. ESSEX can also provide LEED consulting services for building certification when desired.
