At CH2M, we’re intensely motivated to use our collective skills and experience to help tackle one of the world’s most important challenges: how to balance limited natural resources with environmental, social and economic priorities. As a full service design firm, our architects and engineers work side-by-side on a daily basis, delivering billions of dollars of facility design and optimization projects worldwide. Our experience shows that ongoing collaboration leads to better solutions, and is a key strength of our design approach for resource-efficient buildings. Improving energy performance of buildings one system at a time is industry norm; however, we know from experience that the greatest opportunity for energy resource savings and building optimization comes from our integrated and collaborative approach. We specialize in applying both this collaborative approach and our deep technical knowledge to optimizing the performance of the most resource-intense buildings: manufacturing facilities, data centers, laboratories, etc. We’ve worked all over the globe to find effective and comprehensive solutions for our clients. We aren’t afraid to think outside of the box and have pushed through/been part of/collaborated on [not sure of the right phrase] a number of “firsts” – whether it be the first facility of its type to receive LEED certification, the piloting of a new credit or the implementation of new technologies at a large scale. At the core of our approach is the principle that sustainability is not a result but an ongoing dialog between the all stakeholders.
