Snohomish
County is at a crossroads where our remaining natural resources can still allow for growth and an increasing quality of life. There is a growing trend among innovative community planners, designers, and contractors to develop and construct our growing urban environment in a manner that recognizes and maximizes environmental benefits while improving the regional environment and the assessed valuation on individual properties. Collectively these strategies are referred to as sustainable development, which starts with low impact site development, and continues through the design and construction phases to a final product that is healthy, productive and attractive for its occupants and neighbors. Energy efficiency, water conservation, waste minimization, pollution prevention, resource-efficient materials, and indoor air quality concerns and impacts are addressed during design and construction, and these aspects are also managed throughout the course of the building’s life.
