At Kramer+Marks Architects we believe all our architecture must be sustainable.

We work to ensure our projects have increased efficiency in the use of energy and resources, while reducing the buildings impact on the environment. We achieve this through the use of better practices and products while at an affordable price. Buildings need to be healthy and productive for those utilizing them as well as cost effective to both operate and maintain through the use of efficient water design, eco-friendly materials and renewable resources. We believe by accurately defining the current and future needs of our clients, assisting with site selection, building orientation, and smart spatial design all contribute to reducing the negative impact of our buildings on the environment.

This commitment is evident by the various green certifications our projects have received, including various levels of LEED Certification, Green Communities, Green Homes, and so on. We have LEED Certified professionals on staff and most of our consultants do as well. Additionally we are members of the Bucks County Sustainable Building Alliance and Delaware Valley Green Building Council; groups dedicated to sustainable principals in our region.

Our dedication to sustainability and partnership with our clients has allowed us to document several sustainable projects including new construction and rehabilitation project types. These projects include the largest gut rehab project in the country to receive LEED GOLD certification as well as one of the first LEED Certified Affordable Housing developments in the City of Philadelphia.
