Sustainability
At Somerville, “going green” isn’t just a passing fad. It’s a driving mission. It just makes sense to design and build buildings in a way that is more energy efficient, sensitive to the environment and makes better use of the natural resources that are all around us.
Our staff includes LEED-accredited architects, project managers, and engineers. We are able to present you with a vast array of sustainable product and systems choices to incorporate into your building design—from simple ideas like low-flow toilets and motion sensor-controlled lighting systems to advanced high-efficiency geothermal heating systems. Through construction material waste reclamation, we can also make the process of building your project far less impactful on the environment. What’s more, high-efficiency green technologies and building strategies often pay for themselves during their expected life cycle.
In presenting these sustainable options to you, we also help you evaluate the feasibility, cost and potential return on investment for each. This approach allows you to make the best choices for your project, now and for the future. After all, what we most want to sustain is your satisfaction.
