Sustainability & Resiliency

It’s difficult to argue that the world’s climate is not changing, and at Pennoni we are committed to provide designs capable of addressing these perceived risks. While already deeply integrated in sustainable and resilient design practices, Pennoni continues to increase our commitment to a more sustainable future. We are achieving this commitment with the use of new tools, staff awareness, technology, key initiatives, and increased sustainability/resiliency services.

As an integral part of our strategic plan and key initiatives, we aim to consider sustainability in all aspects of our practice, while strengthening and growing our sustainability and resiliency programs. Our staff have certifications in both the Envision, WELL and LEED programs that provide the necessary tools to design sustainable and resilient projects.
