Green Building

At Adolfson & Peterson Construction, "green" building means more than just a style of construction. To us, it means building with an inherent sense of environmental responsibility and providing our clients with the best solutions for their sustainability goals.

A&P has a proven track record of providing our clients with information and analysis to derive at the optimal balance between sustainable measures and project budget. Through our experience of building some of the nation's top recognizable green buildings, we've developed the most comprehensive use of green building strategies. These strategies incorporated with our sound project management methodology, allows our A&P project teams to track budgets accurately and manage projects efficiently while working with our clients to help them reach the best decisions for their overall green and fiscal goals.

As a leader in green construction, we're committed to the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification process. Employee education is at the center of A&P’s green commitment. After instituting an internal LEED training program, a remarkable percentage of A&P's employees achieved the designation of LEED accredited professionals. The breakdown of A&P's percentage of LEED accredited professionals by job type (as of January 2009) is:

49 percent of project managers
30 percent of field operations staff
42 percent of preconstruction managers and mechanical/electrical coordinators

The high percentages of LEED Accredited Professionals in the operations and preconstruction translates into a green focus for every construction project, even those projects not seeking LEED certification.

Adolfson & Peterson Construction has been an active member of the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council) since 2002, and our staff understands the importance of utilizing various green building strategies in order to reduce energy costs and provide materials in construction that minimize our impact on the environment.

We collaborate extensively with clients to confirm that all construction practices used are able to be applied to the LEED® rating system.

As a team, the most important aspect of green building is that we listen to you, the owner. We ensure that your ideas are heard and incorporated into the project. The team will collectively decide on which green design strategies are acceptable and feasible for your project.
