SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

Some building materials are more demanding on the Earth’s environment than others. We present options to use building materials that are resource-efficient, taking into account their cradle-to-grave effect on the environment and preferring locally-produced materials when possible. We also seek to maximize the recycling of construction waste.

Compass Group Architecture strives to produce sustainable facilities, and our architectural team embraces sustainable design guidelines that enhance building ecology, promote energy efficiency, and focus on smart materials selection.
