About Us
Sustainability
Applying a comprehensive sustainable design approach to building projects requires planning and coordination amongst multiple design team members (architect/engineers) to integrate sustainable elements throughout a project. We incorporate sustainable structural engineering aspects into new, historic, and adaptive reuse projects by applying quality design and throught the efficient use of materials (such as recycled and salvaged materials), sustainable products as well as other resources.
SK&A is thoroughly familiar with the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED rating system. Supported by our in-house team of LEED Accredited Professionals, Marcia Camarda, PE, LEED AP, Senior Principal, directs the firm’s efforts in the design of sustainable projects, which require conformance to environmental standards.
