By <br /> S ' 1 O making thoughtful design decisions as architects and engineers,we have <br /> ,04 <br /> � j / G an opportunity and a responsibility to make a positive contribution to the <br /> protection of our planet.We believe in an integrated,holistic approach to <br /> 0 <br /> �4 /> n design. Under the guidance of our LEED Accredited Professionals,we use <br /> 0 \ n the LEED Green Building Rating System as a one of many tools in the <br /> rL E E D development of environmentally responsible projects. <br /> O USGBC n Sustainable Design <br /> 0 • <br /> Sustainability can be broadly defined as a balance between human needs <br /> ® and productivity of natural systems. Sustainable design principles help to <br /> ® promote regeneration of the natural environment,minimizing impact on its <br /> resources while affording sound economical development.Good design <br /> ® relies on making design decisions that are clearly guided by suitability <br /> durability,economy and common sense. Building materials and systems <br /> 9 should be selected on their ability to perform over the long term while <br /> ® maintaining their intended appearance and efficiency. Systems that conserve <br /> SI energy while increasing the quality of the environment for those they serve <br /> are far more cost effective in the long run.Materials that are more durable <br /> require less maintenance and cost to up-keep. It is good business sense. <br /> ® Benefits of Environmentally Responsible Buildings <br /> (, lit r O Environmentally responsible buildings have benefits far beyond social <br /> �� responsibility. Sustainable design is good for business. Improved <br /> ® ��� �� operational efficiency, increased productivity, improved financial <br /> U. <br /> [� �/ performance,enhanced occupant comfort,and improved quality of life are <br /> ® `l�'r7 just a few key benefits. <br /> ® / o t ' LEED Project Experience <br /> ® \I LEED Certified: <br /> ® e �< Toyota/Lexus Training Facility Interior Fit-out- LEED CI(Gold) <br /> ..-, Lauderhill Municipal Complex- LEED NC(Silver) <br /> ® 7) t• Children Service Council Lauderhill, FL- LEED NC(Silver) <br /> Paul DeMaio Dania Beach Branch Library- LEED NC(Gold) <br /> ® I O LEED Registered (seeking certification): <br /> Fire Station 107 I Miramar, FL - LEED NC(Silver) <br /> ® Pembroke Pines Public Services Campus, Pembroke Pines, FL- LEED <br /> • NC(Silver) <br /> • Green Awards <br /> ® Pyramid Award 2010(Lauderhill Municipal Complex) <br /> ® Associated Builders and Contractors <br /> ® Green Award 2010(Lauderhill Municipal Complex) <br /> Associated Builders and Contractors <br /> ® USGBC Gala Verde 2011 (Toyota/ Lexus Training Facility) <br /> FHBA Aurora Award 2011 (Green Dream House) <br /> O Si <br /> I® RFQ# 12-04-02 59 <br /> �a9 <br /> MANUEL SYNATOVSKI ASSOCIATES,LT( <br /> • 2„,m ar.mmm rite-ri ninS <br />
