Why RunBrook?
Better buildings and sustainable improvements bring a lot of benefits. They qualify for tax incentives, cost less to operate through lower bills and meet state and federal requirements. In addition, because stakeholders value them, they generate more profits, offer positive publicity opportunities and can help you attract and retain qualified personnel and tenants.
RunBrook has the experience, expertise and knowledge to help you achieve more value per square foot via more sustainable buildings and a better bottom line. As we work together, you’ll find that your goals are our number-one priority and that our streamlined process makes implementation a breeze. This is possible through our unique approach consisting of three key areas:
#1 - YOUR GOALS
First, we find out what drives your green building efforts. We understand that a project simply trying to meet regulatory requirements will differ from a project striving to exemplify cutting-edge building performance. Other drivers to consider might include ease of permitting, marketing and public relations efforts, consumer demand, tax incentives, mortgage insurance reductions, utility cost savings, investor demands and your company's mission.
#2 - CUSTOM OPTIONS
Next, we present you with custom options based on your goals and our expertise in a concise, easy-to-understand format. It’s important to us that you can clearly see the pros and cons of each choice. We’re not tied to a particular rating system or method so that we can find the approach that works best for the current project, and we’re happy to present additional details and explanations for further clarification.
#3 - UNIQUE, STREAMLINED IMPLEMENTATION
Then, as we implement our strategy, you'll find that our value lies in our unique, streamlined implementation process. As your project needs it, we provide green building education, design-team collaboration, value engineering, energy modeling, home energy ratings, blower-door testing, duct-leakage testing, green building construction management, utility monitoring and marketing team collaboration.
In addition, RunBrook stands out based on our following key differentiators:
