Green Building Design & Construction

EcoAmmo prides itself on being an industry leader and is at the forefront of emerging green building rating systems. Since 2006, EcoAmmo has successfully project managed green building certifications throughout Western Canada. In total, EcoAmmo has certified over 230+ Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) projects. LEED is only part of how we are transitioning the world towards sustainability.  We are committed to making green building certifications simpler, less time consuming, less taxing and less expensive for all green building projects.

We are experienced in residential, commercial, industrial and institutional projects. We support projects through design and construction by uniquely adding our Lean expertise to the process while ensuring that the owner’s goals are reached. Once the building is occupied we can assist with setting and reaching operational sustainability goals and we can help tell the project’s sustainability story. 

We find solutions for clients that meet their needs; each rating system has a unique value proposition. Not all projects require certification and in those cases we can help guide clients through the options to build sustainably and leave a positive legacy for future generations.

Contact us early in your project planning phase to include sustainability when it costs the least and is simplest to implement.

buildings generate nearly 40% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions

As alarming as this statistic is, EcoAmmo realizes how we can make a difference. We can directly influence a building’s carbon footprint by guiding owners and project teams towards conducting a whole-building life-cycle assessment (LCA) during the design stage of a project. This assessment tool coupled with our expertise help to reduce the building’s environmental effects (such as global warming, depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, acidification of land water resources, eutrophication, formation of tropospheric ozone and depletion of non-renewable resources) by quantifying materials, assessing which materials have the greatest carbon impact and reducing or optimizing the use of those carbon-heavy materials on the project.
