Our goal is to incorporate sustainability into every project,
regardless of size or budget.
Integrated Approach | We believe the client and design team
should make decisions together in an integrated process with the
environmental input of all building disciplines. The result is
increased comfort and productivity of occupants and reduced building
energy consumption.
Site | By incorporating proper building placement, footprint and
massing, site runoff and pollution of ground water is minimized,
reducing the building’s environmental impact.
Daylighting | High quality natural daylighting is integrated into
the design to reduce the need for electric lighting and to provide
users a visual connection to the outdoors.
Indoor Environment | Using optimized ventilation and energy
conservation methods is important in creating comfortable,
sustainable projects.
Materials | The materials we select for building have a
significant positive effect on our local and global environment.
Buildings that Teach | RB+B's sustainable buildings teach the users of our
facilities environmental stewardship through the building’s design.
AIA 2030 Commitment |
RB+B Architects has joined the AIA 2030 Commitment to implement a
sustainability action plan. The plan includes setting sustainable

process and implementing a sustainable business strategy.
