Going Above and Beyond for the U.S. Air Force

Originally contracted to be a LEED® Silver building, BRPH designed the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force’s Fourth Building with maximum efficiency, ultimately earning LEED® Gold certification. This was made possible by incorporating an innovative design with locally sourced building materials, including a focus on those made from recycled content, optimized energy performance from new mechanical and electrical systems and water efficient landscaping. The building now sees a 36% total reduction in water use, accompanied with a 39% energy cost savings.

LEED® stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. If you read this closely, you’ll notice that sustainable design clearly requires leadership. That’s where we come in. BRPH has 78 LEED® Accredited professionals across all disciplines.

We are the leaders and trusted advisors for our clients and construction partners through this process and continue to make strides in designing the most energy efficient buildings without breaking the bank.
