As this year winds down and we turn our sights toward the next, we are grateful to everyone who chose to include us in their projects this past year.

The importance of taking steps to reduce global temperatures is at the forefront of many people’s minds. Sustainable building practices are one way the rise in global temperatures can be combated, and the risk of harmful man-made situations—such as urban heat islands—can be reduced. What is an Urban Heat Island? An urban heat island occurs in cities when the natural landscape is replaced by pavement, buildings, and other surfaces that absorb and retain heat.
