Plan it green

Leave a better world for the future: Plan it Green

“Plan it green” is a philosophy dedicated to sustainable planning and green design. The use of sustainable materials reduces overall environmental impact by reducing landfill, and green design allows for the maximum energy efficiency and land-use from day one.

Mission

The “plan it green” mission is to encourage the adoption of economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable practices in construction and to facilitate the implementation of sustainable planning and green design through education, collaborative partnerships, and technical assistance.

Why you should “plan it green” for your next project

A lot of materials go to waste in landfill that can be reused and reincorporated into construction projects.  By maximizing the recycling and reuse of viable materials in new construction projects, we reduce their environmental impact.  In addition, the “plan it green” philisophy can be used to:

• qualify for eco-energy rebates and tax credits
• retain historical characteristics for protected buildings
• maximize energy efficiency of buildings and construction
• implement off-grid technology for future cost savings
• lower heating and cooling costs through natural design measures

We envision a brighter and cleaner future through green building practices, healthy living, and innovation.
