AIA 2030 Commitment
Lowering Costs, Cutting Carbon

Legat is among the fewer than 2% of U.S. firms committed to the AIA 2030 initiative for carbon-neutral buildings. We track and analyze building performance to create cost-effective strategies. Clients benefit with long-term savings and a smaller environmental footprint.

Our Sustainability Action Plan guides our efforts toward energy efficiency, resource conservation, and occupant well-being.

Our Road Map

Data-Driven Design
Smarter Design, Reduced Expenses

Our energy modeling tools simulate factors ranging from building orientation and massing to materials and daylighting. The resulting data drive design that reduces energy consumption and lowers utility costs.
