Rodda's Approach to Sustainable Construction

Our goal as a company is to incorporate sustainable design and construction practices into each project while maintaining awareness for the needs, desires and available resources of our clients. Designing, building and occupying a high performance, sustainable building requires knowledge, experience, passion and a commitment from all members of the team. Regardless of whether a project is going for LEED certification or just pursuing sustainable practices, Rodda brings the skills and experience necessary to achieve our client's goals for sustainable, high performing buildings.

Our preconstruction team and LEED Coordinator work with the Designers and Owner from the project’s inception to identify the set of Owner needs for this facility, and to de¬velop not only the LEED credit checklist, but the energy efficiency goals and opportunities specific to this project. Installation of reflective roofing, increased insulation, window shades, and tinted windows are some of the aspects of the building’s shell that will have an energy savings. Selecting the best HVAC and electri¬cal systems, coupled with the use of occupancy sensors, CO sensors and other efficient and convenient technologies can maxi¬mize savings and satisfaction with the building systems.
