Sustainability Overview

R.W. Sullivan Engineering's Green Building Philosophy

R. W. Sullivan recognizes the role of the engineering disciplines in the design of sustainable, high performance buildings, and strives to achieve cost-effective energy efficient solutions at all times. We have undertaken an in-house Interdisciplinary Sustainability Initiative, which meets regularly to discuss the design process as it relates to energy conservation, indoor air quality, and life cycle cost analysis. We believe that the future of the construction industry as well as the planet require close attention to all of the energy implications of each design decision. Our emphasis on collaboration, holistic thinking, and knowledge sharing provide a sound basis for these informed decisions.
