Since 1954, Balzhiser & Hubbard Engineers has applied appropriate engineering technology and practices to meet the individual needs of our clients. Sustainability extends to each of our major departments, with numerous LEED® Accredited Professionals in our mechanical, electrical and civil departments. Sustainable design for building projects requires that many different design disciplines work closely together to realize synergetic benefits from design decisions. Our staff works closely with architects and owners to ensure a thorough understanding of the owner's needs and the architectural vision for the building. This approach, combined with our longstanding desire for energy efficiency and best cost / benefit to the owner made for an easy transition to Sustainable Design practices in the late 1990s.

Since 1998, Balzhiser & Hubbard has worked on over 20 LEED projects with a construction value of well over $400 million. The projects have achieved Certified, Silver, and Gold certification status, and one is on track to significantly exceed Platinum. Projects have been under LEED NC 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, CS 1.0, and the ODA's version of LEED NC 2.0.
