Sustainability is a significant consideration with building today.
Similar to our core value of building standards and educational program being the guardrails for a successful project. Sustainability also should be included in these standards. Whether the intent is pursuing a certification or utilizing due diligence to ensure efficient building methods, products and construction practices, we make it a priority to discuss the goals and vision of the district.
ashland case study
As part of the Ashland School District Bond Program, HMK partnered with Brightworks.
After research and initial meetings with the district, it was determined that the program would align with the City of Ashland’s Climate Energy and Action Plan (CEAP).
CEAP outlines 60 strategies for the design, construction and operation of city buildings. The project team has identified approximately 20 strategies that will be used as standards for the design and construction of the Ashland Bond Projects.
