Design-build professionals who specialize in creating a sustainable environment for office buildings, educational facilities and other commercial real estate projects are helping owners and developers design and build the most energy- and cost- efficient buildings possible.
A few miles outside the city limits of Austin, Texas, construction work is expected to soon begin on the Austin Ridge Bible Church’s tri-level, 80,000-square-foot building. The building will house a 2,500-seat sanctuary, classrooms and other spaces where congregants can gather for prayer and fellowship.
When the project is completed, scheduled for the end of 2019, it will produce a worship place that will significantly reduce the building’s energy costs in the years ahead.
