New company focusing on sustainabale technologies
As our modern world becomes ever more entwined with energy intensive technology, environmental impact
and its effect on an organization's bottom line become increasingly important. The Sustainable
Technologies Design Group (STDG) offers services vital to the success of technology intensive projects
with a cradle to cradle strategy that works to achieve a balance between a company's core mission and its
core environmental values.
STDG’s goal is to provide our clients with project tailored expertise in implementing new environmentally
conscious technology strategies, improving or complementing existing technology, and / or replacing aging
systems. STDG's depth of projects include master planning operations, new construction, adaptive re-use,
renovations, and restorations of existing facilities.
STDG’s well-trained consultants believe that the key to a successful solution is based on providing
excellence in fulfilling project obligations completely, confidently, reliably, and within project scope and
budget.
Integral to the firm’s practice is the synthesis of Master Planning, Technology, Engineering, Interior Design,
and Art to execute a singular design vision supporting clients’ goals - from creation of a compelling image
down to a meticulous level of detail. These inseparable services orchestrate total environments that
increase productivity, interaction, comfort, and user satisfaction while maintaining a lower carbon footprint.
