We make sustainability easy so that green buildings become the norm rather than the exception.
About us
We help our partners and project teams understand complex sustainability strategies, evaluate the tradeoffs, and achieve their green building certification goals to produce healthy, efficient, resilient spaces to live and work. ArchEcology, LLC, is a woman-owned firm located in Seattle. Our staff combines years of architectural design and construction observation experience with extensive green building consulting. Together, we've successfully certified more than 125 LEED projects, and a variety of projects under other green building programs, totaling over five million square feet. We use our knowledge of sustainable design and construction to provide guidance to project teams throughout the development process and to act as an effective advocate for project owners pursuing sustainable goals. For new construction, we integrate sustainability into conventional design and renovation goals. Through our extensive knowledge of green building programs, we help determine the sustainable strategies most feasible for the project. Then we facilitate cost effective decision-making throughout the process by interpreting compliance with sustainable goals within the context of local code practices and regional resources. For existing buildings, we evaluate building envelopes, analyze energy and water use, benchmark best practices, and develop operational measures that improve indoor air quality and mitigate environmental impacts. Our services include not only interpretation of green building rating system requirements, coordination of roles and responsibilities, specification review, and on-line administration, but also energy code compliance, energy modeling, and heat transfer analysis. ArchEcology is one of the select few firms across the nation that the US Green Building Council has designated a Proven Provider for new construction projects pursuing LEED certification.

A base building constructed with current codes can offer lots of advantages for the tenant improvement project seeking LEED certification, including low flow fixtures, high efficiency HVAC, and proximity to existing infrastructure. Our client Orrick layered on many more measures geared toward improving indoor environmental quality for staff.

We're proud to announce the LEED Silver certification of our first health clinic! The PeaceHealth Lynden Clinic is a 25,000SF single-floor regional clinic with an urgent care facility. This project was challenging due to its remote location and program, it was incredibly satisfying for us to help guide PeaceHealth to its very first LEED-certified facility. Projects like this--that are focused on the health and well-being of all of us and bring much-needed services to local communities --are what sustainability is all about. https://lnkd.in/efekNgwK - - #buildingoptimization #lifecycleassesment #energycode #LEEDcertification #passivehouse #netzero #healthybuildings #greenbuildingseattle #engineering #energymanagement #cleanbuildingact #seattleengineer #archecology

Last month, we had the pleasure of attending the grand opening of Beacon Pacific Village, a mixed-use community development on the Pacific Hospital campus. It has 160 units of affordable housing, a 24,000 sf facility for All-inclusive Care for the Elderly owned (AiPACE) and operated by International Community Health Services, and a 10,000 sf daycare facility operated by El Centro de la Raza. This type of project is of increasing importance as the cost of living in Seattle continues to rise. It also addresses the serious lack of family-oriented, multi- and intergenerational housing. The hope is that this project will sustain the existing culture of a gentrifying area by providing affordable housing, childcare, and healthcare options. ArchEcology worked with the large team to provide ESDS consulting services for the housing as well as the childcare. We are also providing LEED consulting services for AiPACE. Congratulations to all who were involved! A lot of work went into this important community project. - - #affordablehousing #buildingoptimization #lifecycleassesment #energycode #LEEDcertification #passivehouse #netzero #healthybuildings #greenbuildingseattle #engineering #energymanagement #cleanbuildingact #seattleengineer #archecology

Back in September, Megan was a part of a joint effort between the AIA Seattle Committee on the Environment and the Urban Design Forum to kick off a three-part series titled Visions for Downtown. The visioning charrette included a diverse group of architects, landscape architects, planners, and policymakers who gathered to generate ideas for breathing new life into downtown Seattle.

Nancy and Evelyn recently went on a site visit for some of our existing building projects and ran into some goats (who were also hard at work!) Goats are an incredible green option for trimming (munching) back overgrown areas and "mowing" the lawn. #buildingoptimization #lifecycleassesment #energycode #LEEDcertification #passivehouse #netzero #healthybuildings #greenbuildingseattle #engineering #energymanagement #cleanbuildingact #seattleengineer #archecology
