By pursuing both active and passive design strategies, sustainable design is integrated into our design process
from the beginning. Sustainable design is considered to be like any other program element where the client's
needs and goals are balanced against the project budget to find the appropriate solution. Using computer models
and energy use simulations, RCA+A and our consultants help the client understand how the proposed project will
perform. Sustainable design can have substantial life-cycle cost benefits. Using the US Green Building Council's
LEED rating system, we asses various design options early in the process and develop cost alternatives associated
with the different LEED certification levels. RCA+A and our consultants have proven experience in providing LEED
review and documentation required for USGBC certification.
