Our Expertise

Delivering Worldwide Expertise in...

New Construction + Major Renovation Projects

From small commercial projects to steel mills and advanced learning spaces, Emerald excels at helping building owners and developers reach their sustainability goals. Building envelope commissioning, sustainability certifications, energy modelling, and embodied emissions reporting are just a few ways Emerald’s clients capitalize on the benefits of sustainability. This includes financial benefits realized through lower construction and operational costs and by qualifying for low-carbon tax incentives in new construction and major renovation projects.

Existing Buildings + Portfolios

Operations usually comprise most of a building’s life cycle costs. However, operational efficiency often falls to the wayside during development, and older buildings typically lack modern best practices. Emerald’s application of tools like energy audits,  energy modelling, performance tracking, and achieving LEED O+M Certification can help buildings modernize - lowering operational costs and extending a building’s lifetime. Emerald’s clients maximize value from their existing buildings. 

Global Perspective

Emerald works with clients across the U.S. and internationally, which requires us to stay at the forefront of global best practices, innovative sustainability strategies, and emerging technologies. Additionally, this experience lends us a strategic view of rapidly developing global knowledge and unique use cases in the sustainability space. We pull from this knowledge to help each client maximize the opportunities of their individual situation. 

Business Focused

Sustainability and ESG play a pivotal role in long-term business stability. However, all companies are different, and Emerald understands that each company requires a unique approach to sustainability. By applying ESG reporting frameworks, carbon reporting best practices, and industry insight, Emerald helps businesses choose metrics, strategies, and roadmaps to develop and achieve ESG targets.
