Sustainable Design

At Emanuelson-Podas, each and every project that crosses our desks represents an opportunity to design a building system that reduces consumption, conserves resources and minimizes our impact on our planet. This is true whether we’re designing for a small, prototype-led tenant improvement or a large and complex ground-up new construction project.

Each time we develop a building system design, we feel the responsibility to examine possibilities, consider alternatives and realize opportunities to maximize performance and minimize waste. Led by firm partner and Director of Sustainability Kelly Artz, PE, our sustainable design initiatives are driven by our company values:

Family: We will reduce consumption.
Service: We will implement sustainable, high-quality design solutions.
Trust: We will share truthful expertise.

Our team has extensive experience with LEED, WELL, Minnesota B3, Green Communities and other sustainability and performance-driven programs, and continues to support our clients as they pursue the Architecture 2030 Challenge.
