Putting People and Planet First<\/strong><\/p>\n

IMEG is passionate about people and engineering, but we are also passionate about the planet. With that in mind, our firm has integrated environmentally-friendly policies and practices into our organization that promote energy, water, and carbon emissions conservation, and waste reduction. We also integrate our sustainable stewardship within our design work, helping clients reduce their environmental impact and risk while maximizing value. Visit our Services<\/a> section to learn more.<\/p>\n

As a nationally recognized leader in sustainability, IMEG\u2019s certified experts have designed hundreds of LEED and Net Zero projects and we have several that are WELL certified or seeking certification. In addition to WELL- and LEED-certified designers, IMEG has accredited experts in ASHRAE-Certified Building Energy Modeling and Building Energy Assessment. We are also a founding member of the Carbon Leadership Forum\u2019s newly launched MEP 2040 Challenge<\/strong>, calling on all systems engineers to \u201cadvocate for and achieve net zero carbon in their projects: operational carbon by 2030 and embodied carbon by 2040.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, recently we signed on to be part of the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s Better Buildings Alliance<\/strong>, the AIA 2030 Commitment<\/strong>, the National Academy of Medicine’s Action Collaborative on Decarbonizing the U.S. Health Sector (Climate Collaborative)<\/strong>, and joined the Structural Engineers 2050 Commitment<\/strong> Program to eliminate embodied carbon in our project designs. However, our commitment goes back decades as demonstrated by our many \u201cfirsts\u201d in high-performance design.<\/p>\n
