Sustainability
Straughan successfully executes sustainability consulting services for building and site projects in the mid-Atlantic region. Our sustainability services focus on supporting federal, state and local municipality property owners, developers, architects, and construction contractors. Straughan uses sustainability frameworks, including LEED, Green Globes, SITES and Envision, to help owners learn how to incorporate sustainability into their business model in addition to their projects. We use Integrated Project Delivery as strategy for the team to set and implement green building performance goals providing leadership and technical capabilities during design. In 2010, our corporate offices were renovated and certified as LEED v.3 for Commercial Interiors at the Gold level.
