Sustainability in all aspects is at the core of our practice and our projects. We can help guide you through today's building energy standards, and not only that, we can work with you to exceed these goals. For us, sustainable design creates a better built environment for our communities.

At PCA, we recognize the opportunity and responsibility to mitigate the impact of building on our environment. We continue to stay ahead of the curve, combining progressive ecological design expertise with a collaborative, practical assessment ensuring that our clients realize the benefits of sustainable integration.
Taking a Holistic Sustainable Design Approach, we incorporate strategies that address technical performance, resource efficiency, universal + inclusive design and user health + community responsive design on projects with tight schedules and budgets – resulting in efficient, high performance buildings that re-energize their neighborhoods.
