a worthwhile endeavor. What resident doesn’t benefit from lower energy costs, better air quality, and efficiently-designed living spaces? What owner doesn’t value a sustainable, energy-efficient investment with a minimal carbon footprint? Going green is a winning proposition for everyone involved—not to mention the environment.

redefining the industry. Implementing green construction and rehabilitation tactics are more affordable and effective than you might think. In fact, even the simplest changes to the day-to-day operations of a building can have an exponential effect. At the forefront of green building and sustainable design, CPM has been redeveloping Brownfield sites and utilizing recycled, sustainable, and alternative building materials in all of our recent projects, from new construction to rehabilitation. We recognize that the green journey is only beginning, and we proudly and humbly offer to share our experiences thus far with you.

green building and sustainable operations:

• Sustainable/Integrated design charrettes
• Sustainable material specifications and performance evaluation
• Project management/Construction management
• Green historical preservation
• Adaptive reuse (including brownfield redevelopment)
• Green operations - implementation and education

CPM’s participation in the US Dept of Energy’s pilot program for green building has earned the recognition of the USDOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Building Green LLC, and Enterprise Green Communities. The case study of Powelton Heights may be viewed through the Building Green website.
