Company Description:
Elm Engineering, Inc was founded over four years ago. We are the first company in the Charlotte area to focus solely on sustainable engineering, energy efficiency, LEED consulting, and commissioning. We are committed to the Architecture 2030 Challenge to be carbon neutral by the year 2030. Every project we do contains elements of sustainability.
Elm's project list includes over 30 LEED projects either completed or underway. All of our building designs are 20 to 40 percent below the required minimums for energy consumption. Most of our buildings achieve even greater energy savings. Our projects save thousands of tons of CO2 emissions every year.
Elm's designs of rainwater collection systems for irrigation, HVAC, non-potable and potable water use, low flow water closets and faucets, and waterless urinals save over 1.8 millions of gallons each year.
We recently renovated our office, using energy efficient lighting, daylighting, low VOC paints, reused and recycled furniture, and recycled content carpet. We train our staff to recycle and compost at home, carpool, bike, and perform educational outreach with strong volunteerism. Most of our staff produce one bag of garbage or less per week. We share green tips with each other and with our customers.
Elm's staff teaches seminars on sustainability, commissioning, energy efficient lighting systems, and green building for owners, developers, architects, and engineers
