SSC’s overarching goal is to protect natural resources and public health by radically transforming standard building practices in planning, design, and policy implementation so that green is the mainstream. Our work is targeted to steadily advance the state of the art until all infrastructure, buildings, and communities are designed, constructed, and managed sustainably. We impact over 50 building projects each year and transform policies around the country. SSC’s mission is to elevate the collective knowledge of sustainable strategies for each team member and building occupants. Subsequent projects with the same team thus require less education and consulting until SSC is able to move into an on-call coaching role.

SSC helps building owners, developers, and design team members identify and evaluate sustainable strategies for new construction and renovation projects. We work with tenants, owners, and managers of existing property to: identify green operational changes; consult in property acquisition; develop green contracts, leases, and operational policies; match missions with green operations; assist with rating system certification, and provide education and outreach for stakeholders, surrounding community, and building occupants.
