Taking Responsibility. Following Our Passion.
Our integrated team of environmentally aware architects, engineers, interior-planning specialists, landscape designers and business professionals are deeply committed to addressing the critical problems of the built environment. Today, buildings in the United States emit 40% of the CO2 released in the atmosphere and consume 48% of energy, 76% of electricity and 30% of natural resources. LEA's team is committed to helping the US Mayors Climate Protection Plan and Architecture2030 Initiative to reach their goals through our unique business model and designs.
Living Ethic Architecture uses the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System as a basis for all of our designs, and our staff includes several LEED-accredited professionals. As a member of the U.S. Green Buildings Council and many other prominent professional associations, we frequently participate in major conferences and seminars on sustainable development in order to ensure that our staff is informed on the most progressive sustainable design applications.
Our commitment to sustainable design is embedded in our firm's guiding philosophy: "Architecture for a Green Planet."
