Our Commitment to Sustainability <br /> For 53 years, PBR HAWAII has been incorporating culturally appropriate sustainable design in our <br /> practice. This commitment to sustainability is best described by the term localesolutions, which at <br /> its core focuses on place-based sustainable design solutions. This approach is based on an <br /> understanding of a "locale" or "place," its natural environment (ecosystem and natural resources), <br /> its people, local history, and culture as the context to inform the development of appropriate <br /> sustainable design solutions. Based on this approach, our design solutions strive to incorporate: <br /> • The latest sustainable design practices to reduce a project's impact on the environment; <br /> • Considerations for both short-term and long-term economic sustainability; and <br /> • The cultural and social context of a place. <br /> PBR HAWAII'S sustainability practice includes: 1) the preparation of Sustainability Plans and plans <br /> which incorporate sustainability guidelines; and 2) LEED® (Leadership in Energy & <br /> Environmental Design) consulting services to aid in the Green Building Certification process. <br /> These are described further below. <br /> Sustainability Plans and Guidelines <br /> PBR HAWAII has prepared Sustainability Plans and related planning documents that incorporate <br /> sustainability guidelines for the following private and public sector projects: <br /> • Sustainability Plans <br /> o 'O'oma Beachside Village Sustainability Plan (Hawai`i) <br /> o Waiale Sustainability Plan (Maui) <br /> • Plans that Incorporate Sustainable Design Guidelines <br /> o UH West 0`ahu Long Range Development Plan <br /> o UH West 0`ahu Non-Campus Lands Master Plan <br /> o Kapi`olani Community College Long Range Development Plan <br /> o Lihu'e Town Core Urban Design Plan <br /> LEED Consulting <br /> PBR HAWAII has five LEED APO (two LEED APO BD+C, one LEED APO ID+C) on staff who <br /> provide design and consulting services relevant to each project.
