An Early-Design Approach to Addressing the Climate Crisis
Sustainable design is essential in a world where architects, engineers, and construction companies face immense pressure with climate change.
Unfortunately, many projects are developed without adequately considering the environment and climate, resulting in excessive energy consumption and contributing to the climate crisis. Even green building-certified projects fail to accomplish this goal, since many green building certification processes start after the conceptual design phase.
UGREEN Certification offers a pioneering solution at the root of the problem, emphasizing early-design analysis for climate-conscious and efficient projects.
As a result, UGREEN-certified professionals and companies achieve in their design more cost-effective and eco-friendly results.
