Etna EcoDistrict Solar Grab-N-Go by evolveEA

Ecodistrict planning engages communities to design places and systems that address equity and environment.

We help communities develop both the hardware or physical systems of place, as well as the software of social and cultural resiliency.

Frameworks

How can evolveEA advance your community?

Every community has unique needs and conditions, and will therefore implement the ecodistrict planning model differently. For some communities, third party verification may guide the process, for others it may not be important.

We helped three municipalities become the first EcoDistricts™ Certified communities in the world, and we can help communities achieve other forms of third party verification like LEED for Neighborhood Development or Living Communities Challenge.
