Sustainability Initiatives:

RKTB has a strong commitment to sustainable design in all aspects of our practice. We employ LEED and Passive House professionals who spearhead the implementation of sustainable principles, and have designed buildings for LEED certification and compliance with Enterprise Green Communities criteria (“the standard for sustainable futures”) and the New York City School Construction Authority’s (SCA) Green Schools Guide for public school design. As determined by the Mayor's Office of Environmental Coordination, the NYC Green Schools Rating System meets or exceeds LEED standards for New Construction, version 2.2, for the achievement of a LEED Certified rating (the minimum required by Local Law 86/2005 for school projects). RKTB is also celebrated for its pioneering work in adaptive reuse, or the recycling of buildings for new purposes—the most fundamental form of sustainability.
