Sustainability Approach:
 

At dsk, we promote an inclusive design approach that upholds the highest standards for each project, with sustainability as a key element integrated early in the process. While guidelines like LEED®, Architecture 2030, CHPS for Schools, CalGreen, and local agency criteria help establish sustainability benchmarks, our approach is more holistic. Adapted from the established triple-bottom-line approach towards the environment, society, and economy, our philosophy embraces a quartet of People - Planet - Prosperity - Project (diagram at right). We advocate for the early integration of ecological design systems, efficient technologies, and renewable resources to set goals, performance requirements, and high-performance concepts. Applying an evidence-based mindset, we continuously validate our solutions with advanced tools at key milestones throughout the architectural delivery process (view an example here). The following outlines the implementation of the four Ps and the value they bring to our projects:
