OUR METHODOLOGY
Our methodology employs proven building science and permacultural design principles to strengthen your design or retrofit, ensuring optimal building performance and energy savings. Successful green building involves more than selecting choices from a laundry list of sustainable practices, materials and systems. Implemented as stand-alone measures, green options will be more costly than conventional approaches.
Our team of LEED AP's, GreenPoint and HERS Raters, Energy Consultants, BPI Certified Building Analysts, and Certified Permaculture Designers have the knowledge base and resources to achieve synergies through combinations of multiple complementary measures. This allows clients to balance initial project costs with improved strength and intelligence of design as part of an integrated whole-building strategy.
Integral Impact Inc provides green building consulting services customized to meet the needs of your project. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary initial consultation that will help us define your needs and get you started down the path to an energy efficient and healthy building.
