Sustainability Reflects Responsibility!

We believe that architecture should inspire
environmental stewardship. Buildings that respond
to the environment and that use materials and resources
that are responsible and sustainable promote healthy
environments for living.

Bernardon is dedicated to educating our clients in
design and construction practices that significantly
reduce or offset the negative impact of buildings on
the environment and its occupants. This dedication is
reflected in the fact that five (5) of the firm’s principals
are Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) Accredited Professionals (AP), supported by an
additional sixteen (16) LEED AP on staff.
