				Environmental protection is a growing concern. The effects of global climate change and pollution can no longer be ignored. Buildings are one of the largest consumers of energy and resources and, as such, represent a significant opportunity for environmental preservation and remediation. At SEPW Architecture Inc. we are committed to: * Reduced energy consumption in our buildings * Reduced construction waste * Reduced site erosion and groundwater contamination * Maximized indoor environmental quality * Use local and/or recycled content products when possible * Consider life-cycle costing for every project






				\|LEED ®\|
				The North American Standard for Green Building is the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) developed by the United States Green Building Council and endorsed by the Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC). Through a point system, buildings can be compared and rated. LEED® has a professional accreditation program which ensures a professional's knowlege and competance with the LEED® program and sustainable building practices in general. The SEPW team includes LEED® Accredited Professionals. Moreover, our portofolio boasts LEED® Certified projects to both the Silver and, soon to be certified, Gold standards.
