Sustainability Design and Green Building Services

As sustainability design consultants, we make buildings ‘greener’ by identifying specific design strategies that can improve the environmental performance, cost effectiveness and healthfulness of commercial and residential buildings.

Adapt Engineering is on the forefront of the environmental and sustainable/green industry in the Pacific Northwest. We strive to balance our impact on the global condition with local sustainable solutions. We are proud to offer our expertise and services to local business and residential property owners seeking to make sustainable improvements to their new, existing and historic buildings.

Commercial Building Performance Assessments
We believe that when a building’s performance is optimized, it has a ripple effect that transcends the structural walls. Building owners quickly benefit from the enhanced system efficiencies and financial incentives. Building occupants and the local community benefit from the health and aesthetic improvements associated with green spaces. And ultimately, a green building not only reduces environmental waste but also supports the global movement towards greater sustainability. In support of optimized commercial buildings, our services include:

 Energy Audits and Benchmarking
 Operations & Maintenance Plan Assessments
 Building Commissioning, Re-Commissioning, Retro-Commissioning
 Water Conservation Strategies
 Indoor Air Quality Testing
 Renewable Energy Strategies
 LEED Certification Consultation
 Tax Credit and Utility Rebate Strategies

Residential Performance Audits
All homes, large or small, have strengths and weaknesses in their design, construction and maintenance. We assess each home’s unique needs and design the best strategy to optimize it for greater efficiency and sustainability. Included in our Home Energy and Water Efficiency Audit is a comprehensive evaluation of how your home is currently operating, cost analysis of what upgrades will have the highest financial benefit, what steps should be taken to make your home as comfortable as possible, what tax and rebate strategies are available to help cover the costs of any recommended upgrades, and what resources are available to help you bring these recommendations to completion. We create a road map for you to either tackle on your own, or partner with a contractor, to make your home as efficient and sustainable as possible. Our services toward this end include:

 Energy Audits and Benchmarking
 Water Conservation Strategies
 Renewable Energy Strategies
 Sustainable Strategy Assessments
 3rd Party Verification Testing
 Tax Credit and Utility Rebate Strategies
