LEED® & SUSTAINABLE DESIGN



BKF Engineers merges green building and site design principles into our projects in a cost effective manner. Whether it be managing stormwater treatment, introducing reclaimed water alternatives, or designing for reduced water use, BKF is committed to environmentally conscious design. BKF has taken a proactive approach to green building, and has promoted LEED® standards internally by having our Project Managers and Principals attend a day long LEED® seminar.
