We are committed to minimizing the environmental footprint of the buildings we design. We actively help our Clients reduce their own environmental impact through construction of energy efficient, sustainable buildings. All members of our design team are aware of the environmental impacts of their design decisions, and approach each project with methodologies that ensure sustainability and energy efficiency. We are committed to ensuring the systems we design are efficient, controllable, and maintainable, all of which will increase their sustainability. We ensure our staff are at the forefront of current sustainable design practices. For our own operations, we will strive to minimize our environmental impact by reducing our own energy use, and through the use of sustainably produced recycled consumables.<\/p>\n

LEED Certification<\/h3>\n

For more than four decades, Chorley + Bisset has been a leader in the field of building energy efficiency. We were one of the first Canadian consulting companies to use computerized building simulation to optimize energy efficiency. Our extensive experience with building energy management flowed readily into our current expertise with green building design. We provided the engineering services for the first three LEED buildings in the London area. The Sisters of St. Joseph London Residence project was the first LEED Gold certified project in the region, and its energy performance continues to exceed predictions. Our numerous subsequent LEED projects have all been large, complex buildings that required creative and innovative design approaches to achieve LEED certification. Most of our LEED projects have set the bar high \u2013 at the LEED Platinum and Gold levels.<\/p>\n
