Commitment to the environment

Houses have a tremendous impact on the planet although the issue rarely receives much attention in the media. An inefficient home in a climate with seasonal temperature extremes consumes vast amounts of energy to provide for space heating. In a climate such as ours in Canada, it is vital that the homes we design be built to minimize the consumption of our energy resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Full Circle encourages clients to consider green building technologies and design elements in their new homes. We can design an effective house plan that takes advantage of natural energy sources, is constructed with locally sourced products, and minimizes demand on water resources. Efficient homes are essential in achieving environmental sustainability. It is a goal, at Full Circle, to raise awareness, encourage participation, and catalyze positive environmental change in our community.

In office, the environment is a priority in all aspects of daily operations and decision making. Every effort is made to reduce the amount of print in office, recycle materials, purchase recycled content products, and avoid unnecessary travel.
