Sustainable Building Initiatives
Klein McCarthy Architects believes in integrating sustainable design initiatives into every project. Our design philosophy is to first explore every energy saving and sustainable option that has no cost impact as part of our typical design process. LEED certification and the incorporation of critical building elements are sensitive issues that need to be established early in the design criteria. Our firm has experience with projects involving LEED certification as well as many that did not pursue this certification but incorporated various sustainable features. We explore the following sustainable design initiatives on every project as part of our 'best practices'.
Klein McCarthy Green Building Initiatives:
On Site Storm Water Management
Low Maintenance & Indigenous Landscaping
Low Maintenance & Indigenous Landscaping
Manage storm water impact of site and structures in a manner that lessens the impact on the existing storm water system.
Low Maintenance & Indigenous Landscaping
Low Maintenance & Indigenous Landscaping
Low Maintenance & Indigenous Landscaping
Select and encourage use of plant materials and landscape elements that require less maintenance and limited irrigation. Where possible use local plant species.
Water Use Reduction
Low Maintenance & Indigenous Landscaping
Controllability & Monitoring of Systems
Select fixtures and promote operational procedures that reduce the overall water use load of the facility.
Controllability & Monitoring of Systems
Controllability & Monitoring of Systems
Controllability & Monitoring of Systems
Ensure systems are specified for maximum control by facility management.
Existing Building Structure Reuse
Controllability & Monitoring of Systems
Existing Building Structure Reuse
Where possible reuse elements of existing structure to minimize labor and materials needed to produce new facility.
Regional Materials Utilization
Controllability & Monitoring of Systems
Existing Building Structure Reuse
Where possible specify materials locally produced to promote the local economy and reduce shipping cost and environmental impact.
Daylight Capture & Maximization
Innovative Wastewater Technologies
Daylight Capture & Maximization
Where possible capture and use daylight to reduce reliance on artificially produced heat and light to increase energy efficiency.
Light Pollution Management
Innovative Wastewater Technologies
Daylight Capture & Maximization
Select exterior light fixtures that produce appropriate light levels without contributing to light pollution. Where possible meet LEED and 'Green Globes' criteria for light pollution reduction.

Energy & Systems Performance Benchmarks
Handle wastewater in a manner that lessens the impact of the facility on the municipal sanitary sewer system.
Energy & Systems Performance Benchmarks
Energy & Systems Performance Benchmarks
Energy & Systems Performance Benchmarks
Set and ensure the facility Mechanical and Electrical systems ultimately meet benchmarks for efficient performance.
Storage & Collection of Recyclables
Energy & Systems Performance Benchmarks
Storage & Collection of Recyclables
Provide a location and work with facility to develop a procedure for the collection and storage of recyclables where possible.
Construction Waste Management
Energy & Systems Performance Benchmarks
Storage & Collection of Recyclables
Produce a plan for recycle and /or reuse of construction waste.
Low Emitting Materials Selection
Where possible specify materials with Low or
No VOC emissions to promote a healthy air
quality environment.
