As the In Balance Green Consulting team, we are celebrating! It has been ten years since our Principals Andy Pease, Architect and LEED Accredited Professional, and Jennifer Rennick, Architect and Certified Energy Analyst, launched our firm.
Monterey Street Mixed Use Achieves LEED Certification
The new Monterey Street Mixed Use complex, located in the heart of San Luis Obispo, has received LEED certification. The project provides close to 70,000 SF of commercial and residential spaces. Three existing qualified historic buildings were combined with new infill shell buildings to create a two- and three-story complex with retail stores, restaurants, a pedestrian plaza and 60 studio and 1-bedroom apartments.
Grouping Retrofits to Gain Efficiency
Rather than build new facilities, many companies are finding their best bet for reducing overhead is to relocate to existing buildings or simply stay where they are and focus on maintenance and retrofitting. Either option creates an opportunity to combine needed upgrades with an analysis that can optimize efficiency for your building.
