Sustainability and Decarbonization
Why this matters to us:
Sustainability isn't a value we put on a slide, it's something we've practiced since before it was common practice. Our founder first encountered it as an architecture student in Montana in the early 90s, sitting in on a year of discussions led by visiting sustainability researchers between his own classes. That thinking carried through years spent designing for New Belgium Brewing, a client that treated environmental responsibility as core to how they operate, not a marketing line. Today we're a preferred partner to New Belgium across facilities in four states, helping them study building systems and reduce their carbon footprint on the path to carbon neutrality.
SUSTAINABILITY & DECARBONIZATION
UC Health Facility
Designed with energy-efficient systems and sustainable materials to lower long-term operating costs.
Designing for a Lighter Future
The built environment plays a critical role in addressing climate change. We integrate sustainable strategies into every stage of design and construction, from energy-efficient systems to low-carbon materials, helping clients reduce environmental impact while creating resilient, future-ready spaces.
New Belgium Brewing CO2 Recovery, Fort Collins, CO & Asheville, NC
Captures CO2 from the fermentation process and converts it into food-grade gas for use across the brewery, cutting down on CO2 trucked in from out of state.
New Belgium Brewing CUP Assessment, Daleville, VA
A facility assessment and life cycle cost analysis for a newly acquired 300,000 SF plant, evaluating process heating and cooling systems that capture waste heat for reuse, reducing energy use and carbon footprint.
AtmosZero Boiler 2.0, Fort Collins, CO.
A pilot installation at New Belgium Brewing's Fort Collins facility for AtmosZero's Boiler 2.0, an air-source, steam-generating heat pump built as a drop-in replacement for gas-fired steam boilers.
