Define Sustainability Llc

I created define sustainability LLC to help organizations plan and implement facilities improvements to advance sustainability in the built environment. I draw from my experience in early-phase project development, sustainable operations and energy systems optimization to identify high impact areas for scoping, budgeting and executive/board approval. Whether you’ve committed to net zero, 2030 goal, or still working on defining your goals, I want to help. I consult with organizations to develop and implement strategic sustainability measures. This starts with defining what sustainability means to them, how it aligns with the organization’s mission and developing a plan for phased implementation that meets budget requirements. Strategic sustainability measures can include quick no-cost/low-cost improvements to building systems, new building operating policies/programs, and long-term capital project planning. I contract directly to support strategic facilities planning with defined scope (expected outcomes), schedule (typically a few months), and mutually agreed upon budget. Examples include-Assess existing facility and building systems and make recommendations (no-cost, low-cost) to advance sustainability in daily operations. Recommendations need to align with ESG commitment to be net zero by 2050 -Early phase project development to support scoping and align sustainability goals with the business case. This can also include quantifying sustainability benefits and budgeting to support the project approval process-Collaborate with design teams to bring expertise in sustainable design, energy systems and resilience to the forefront of the project, starting at project inception.
