Renewables, Energy Efficiency, Sustainable Development
The greening of development and consideration of sustainable development principles is more important than ever. The development of strategies and devising subsidized funding structures for the incorporation of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures in new and retrofitted commercial and residential buildings and site design is a growing part of MDRA's business orientation.
From site and structures development perspectives, building and materials choices, mechanical and structural systems, infra-structure options and financing considerations and sources of assistance, MDRA adds a new level of sophistication to its real estate development, planning and environmental resource consulting practice. Greening marketing considerations, community acceptance, and U.S. Green Building Council LEED certifications among others are becoming factors in development choices.
