Sustainable Design

Doing the green thing for its own reward

Wight believes that sustainable design is an irreversible movement that continues to alter how buildings are conceived and constructed. We integrate varying degrees of green design into each of our projects to help our clients achieve the level of sustainability best suited to their needs.

Wight’s LEED Accredited Professionals are experts at meeting the various types of LEED designations. Clients who pursue certification through the U.S. Green Building Council enjoy numerous benefits—from energy savings and reduced absenteeism to improved indoor environments and an edge in the real estate market. Having achieved over 30 LEED designations, including Platinum, Gold, Silver, Certified, and registered, Wight is a recognized leader in sustainable design in the Midwest.

Regardless of certification, we incorporate sustainable practices when appropriate. There is a correlation between the sustainable design of buildings and a user’s quality of life. Our sustainable designs not only reduce energy consumption and operating costs but also create healthy environments that enhance user performance and retention.

We always bring a Shade of Green to each project, because sustainability is the way we do business at Wight. It’s good for the client, the community, and the earth.
