Our Sustainability Services

It Matters. NOVA employees, clients, and communities have become more environmentally conscious. As a result, adopting sustainability practices enhances our ability to attract new employees, service environmentally-minded clients, and foster community trust. Sustainable building practices often result in energy efficiency, water conservation, and reduced operational costs over the life of a structure. Clients recognize that investing in sustainable design and construction can lead to long-term economic benefits and operational savings. At NOVA, we strive to make this an internal practice so that our clients see our commitment as we demonstrate environmental stewardship within our teams.
