A goal of sustainable planning and design is to achieve a realistic balance of the economic, social, and environmental needs of a project. Sustainable planning and design utilizes a holistic, lifecycle-based approach in an effort to reduce the environmental impact of proposed projects. This includes site considerations, water and energy efficiency, materials selection and sourcing, construction and operating costs. Projects developed using sustainable features often experience greater acceptance by the public and regulatory agencies, lower operating costs, aesthetically pleasing, and well integrated into the surrounding area. MJ's team of planning and design professionals brings together the expertise and experience required to strike the appropriate balance in the "triple bottom line" for your project.
