SUSTAIN THE ENVIRONMENT
Resilient communities foster environmental stewardship.
Incorporating an effective and well-considered level of sustainable design in a project is a means to energy savings,
increased occupant comfort, and stewardship of our natural resources. FGM recommends an approach that is attuned to
each project’s program, budget, and overall goals.”
