Sustainable Practices

Primera practices a commitment to sustainability in every project we undertake. Whether it's incorporating Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) into our design or providing energy-efficient electrical solutions throughout classrooms and media centers, our team of engineers ensures environmentally-conscious solutions that not only provide cost savings over a structure's lifetime, but the benefit of healthier students and teachers as well. We have already designed many LEED schools under both the LEED NC and LEED for Schools guidelines. Even more important than the certifications, the designs bring an improved quality of life to our children, teachers, and administrators.
