Our Evolving Strategies for Optimizing Existing Buildings

Even though the global pandemic brought most of the world to a halt, building operations still continued. We recognize the challenges COVID brought to building benchmark measurements and applaud two of our clients who were able to attain Energy Star certification despite the hurdles: DMI Industries headquarters in Charleroi, PA, and the historic 411 Seventh Avenue building in Downtown Pittsburgh.

Ice House Studios Courtyard

Starting with the imperative of controlling rainwater flow, evolveEA's interdisciplinary approach to the Ice House Building Courtyard included landscape design, hardscaping, roofing, plumbing, green roof and structural elements for the public art space.

Living Waters of Larimer

Living Waters of Larimer is a community development project that demonstrates how green infrastructure can be integrated into the urban spaces, cultural life, and economic infrastructure of a community.

Allegheny County Courthouse Facilities Plan

As the sustainability consultant, evolveEA led an Operations and Maintenance Review of the Allegheny County Courthouse that consisted of a series of interview and data analyses. The final facilities plan restores the Courthouse as a landmark building and meets contemporary standards for comfort, performance, and sustainability.

Engaging Pittsburgh Online to Plan for More Vibrant Riverfronts
