Sustainable architecture was being practiced at DFDG long before “LEED® Certified” and “green building” became commonly used terms. As a firm, we are committed to environmentally responsible architecture and development, and to that end, have embraced the efforts of the USGBC to promote sustainability. This commitment to sustainability is not just focused on new construction. DFDG has developed a unique “be sustainable”© program designed to assist clients in improving the operations of existing buildings in order to achieve LEED-EB certification. More than half of DFDG’s technical staff are LEED® Accredited Professionals.
