Highlighting an Eco-Friendly Architectural Firm: Andres and Andres Design

Andres and Andres Design is a brand new, budding architectural firm that has a lot of ambitious goals. They will offer design services for both new homes and for renovations and remodeling projects. They use a state-of-the-art technology called Building Information Modeling (BIM) to create floor plans and three-dimensional models of potential projects.

BIM technology is great because it streamlines the construction process and eliminates common errors made during construction. This translates into a reduced cost for every project, both in terms of economics and the environment. Located in Huntington Beach, California, Andres and Andres Design plans to initially offer their services to the greater Los Angeles area with hopes of expanding even further in the future.

Andres and Andres Design focuses on sustainable building strategies. They are certified by the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program as LEED-Accredited Professionals. Andres and Andres Design is also a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Finally, Andres and Andres Design is also a member of the National Resources Defense Council.

With more than 14 million people residing in the greater Los Angeles area, Andres and Andres Design will hopefully have their work cut out for them. They plan to focus on green remodeling projects with an emphasis on sustainable design and smart architecture. Andres and Andres Design is a perfect example of how any company can go through the effort to transition into the green industry; building is absolutely no exception. In the United States, building accounts for almost half of the use of resources as well as about 40% of the carbon emissions in the entire country. So, it makes a lot of sense to build green. Green building is better for the environment as well as those who live or work in the buildings.

Andres and Andres Design will definitely make a big impact once they are up and running and taking on new project. EnviroCitizen.org is interested to see their architectural firm grow, mature and thrive. Hopefully, the fact that architectural firms like Andres and Andres Design are coming into existence is an indicator that more and more consumers are demanding green building design and therefore creating a bigger market for it. Green building means a brighter future for our health and the health of our environment.
