We see “sustainability” as the confluence of technical performance and the best possible of social, environmental and economic outcomes. From LEED and LID to reuse and waste-to-energy programs, we have sustainable solutions to optimize your project's footprint.

Today, municipalities face a changing regulatory climate and a growing demand to provide performance benchmarking. This means an increased need to evaluate energy efficiency, seek carbon footprint reduction, and embrace a growing number and variety of sustainability initiatives. Hazen and Sawyer can help you find environmentally-sound, reliable, cost-effective, energy-efficient solutions to your environmental challenges.
To help clients make the best possible forward-thinking decisions in this climate, we have developed customized metrics and tools, such as Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) and Carbon Footprinting, that enable facility owners and operators to better assess the sustainability of their operations. Our LCA models and templates are customized to the types of systems our clients employ, enabling expedient and cost-effective quantification and comparison of environmental impacts of different treatment processes and products.
At Hazen and Sawyer, the key to implementing sustainable solutions is evaluating and designing with efficient and reliable technologies, with a focus on the financial incentives that often subsidize the most sustainable solutions for design. Using these principles, Hazen and Sawyer is committed to designing facilities that are environmentally friendly, energy efficient, sustainable, and safe.
As a pioneer in environmental engineering, we know facilities perform at their greatest level when they imitate nature. We stay at the forefront of green and sustainable architectural design, planning and developing projects in a manner that minimizes impacts on natural resources, such as water, air, fauna, and flora, often by mimicking natural processes. While LEED certification remains the client’s decision, we present design options based on LEED compliance for sustainable design, enabling our clients to consider the costs of design decisions at an early stage. This thoughtful approach allows clients to understand the holistic environmental impact and total carbon footrpint for a project long before construction begins.
