Environmental Services — Sustainable Design

The buildings in which we live, work, and play have a vast impact on the environment, human health, and the economy. Our staff understands that the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal of buildings takes an enormous amount of energy, water, and material, while generating large quantities of waste, air and water pollution. Research and experience has increasingly demonstrated that when buildings are designed and operated with their lifecycle impacts in mind, they can provide great environmental, economic, and social benefits. Buildings also develop their own indoor environments, which present an array of health issues and challenges. Recognizing the significance and benefits of maximizing both economic and environmental performance of buildings, Hughes offers a green or sustainable building capability as an integral part of its environmental services lineup. We will assist you in creating healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenance, and demolition. Our staff can integrate green construction methods into your buildings at any stage, from design and construction, to renovation and deconstruction. We will help you realize your most significant benefits by establishing an integrated approach from the earliest stages of your building project.
