The Green Benefit

Our green built projects include innovative features such as:

• Increased use of day-lighting
• Natural ventilation
• Innovative wastewater management
• Greater control over heating and lighting systems
• Low and no VOC materials

What’s good for the environment is also good for business. Urban Visions is committed to using sustainable practices in our projects, including both old and new principles that offer a better balance of working and living situations for individuals, couples, and families in a reinvigorated downtown setting.

In implementing green building practices, we have studied progressive global cities – Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Malmö (Sweden), New York, Sydney and Vancouver, B.C. – to learn how they address planning and design challenges.

For both work and living environments, the health and wellness outcomes of green building practices for individuals are well-documented. Additionally, incorporating energy efficiency in design and development yields savings in the form of reduced utility costs.
