Sustainable Construction

It’s not just what we build, it’s how we build.

Shawmut has brought numerous LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified projects across the finish line, from Certified through Platinum levels.

We push past impact reduction and towards environmental improvement by delivering projects with Living Building Challenge(LBC), the world’s most stringent green building rating system, Net Zero, Passive House, and WELL certifications.

Sustainable practices guide everything we do—both on-site and in the office. We make informed, deliberate decisions that take into account financial and design concerns as well as ensuring ongoing environmental stewardship.

Shawmut is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, where we are actively involved with sustainable construction projects designed and built in compliance with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) standards.

Shawmut has been awarded the Social Justice Label 2.0 from the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), a global nonprofit organization committed to advancing communities that are ecologically restorative, socially just, and culturally rich.
