Project Spotlight
Clifford L. Allenby Building
We partnered with the State of California to deliver a new net zero energy headquarters building for the Department of General Services.
In dreams begins responsibility.

Our Approach
Green Buildings that Work
We believe a low carbon future is achievable and can be delivered through the built environment. We work with clients to determine low energy and carbon approaches through systems design and materials selection, and integrate with Glumac's MEP teams to ensure client sustainability goals are met or exceeded.
Water is a crucial resource, and one that in many parts of the country is becoming more scarce as the impacts of climate change increase. From rainwater harvesting systems to artificial tidal wetlands, our team has designed water reuse systems that mitigate environmental impacts while saving clients long term on water-related costs.
We now spend 90 percent of our lives indoors. These spaces we occupy must not only improve their environment, but they also need to improve the lives of the occupants. Our nature-inspired biophilic design approach works with systems design and architecture to improve indoor air quality, access to daylighting, and to mitigate the spread of bacteria.
As the impacts of climate change increase, buildings must become a functional refuge from natural disasters. Ample fresh air, onsite energy production, water reuse, and earthquake resiliency all factor into our approach.
Climate solutions must be rooted by a data-driven approach. By blending nature-inspired design with our data-driven approach, we are working with clients to reduce carbon impacts across all our projects.
