Environmental Approach

As engaged industry leaders we understand the interconnection with personal wellbeing and a building’s performance and design. This deep-rooted passion to create buildings that offer optimization for operational budgets as well as the fluency of individual functions within a space, is being extended with the need to take leadership of environmental responsibility in construction methods, materials’ cradle to grave lifecycle outcomes and building energy performance.  We are committed to making a difference and strive to implement green strategies for every client.

Life-cycle Upgrades and Retrofitting

Broaden potential uses and extend the life of your building with improved energy systems and building performance.  Buildings age, and as they do the degrading infrastructure becomes inefficient, costs more and can directly affect occupant well-being and effectiveness.  With 40% of the global carbon emissions resulting from buildings, preserving and improving existing buildings with upgrades, renovation and retrofitting becomes necessary for conscious ongoing sustainability.  We work towards enhancing performance and functionality to reduce emissions.

Cost Efficiency on Effective Budgets

Salter Pilon supports all clients in achieving ongoing cost and environmental efficiencies through construction methods and material selections.  From low impact site planning, low maintenance finish materials and water saving initiatives, to major point scoring systems; LEED certification, Net Zero Ready planning for Net Zero Energy system installation and Zero Carbon Buildings, we are committed to finding sustainable opportunities that benefit construction and operational budgets.  We have built projects that recover grey water for landscaping use, systems that reclaim heat for additional heating and mass timber to sequester carbon.  You’ll be surprised what implementations can be used to create long-term cost efficiencies for your next facility.
