Our Commitment to Sustainability For 54 years, PBR HAWAII has been incorporating culturally appropriate sustainable design in our practice. This commitment to sustainability is best described by the term localesolutions, which at its core focuses on place-based sustainable design solutions. This approach is based on an understanding of a "locale" or "place,"its natural environment(ecosystem and natural resources), its people, local history, and culture as the context to inform the development of appropriate sustainable design solutions. Based on this approach, our design solutions strive to incorporate: • The latest sustainable design practices to reduce a project's impact on the environment; • Considerations for both short-term and long-term economic sustainability; and • The cultural and social context of a place. PBR HAWAII'S sustainability practice includes: 1) the preparation of Sustainability Plans and plans which incorporate sustainability guidelines; and 2) LEED® (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) consulting services to aid in the Green Building Certification process. These are described further below.
