Setting the Standard for Sustainable Construction

We take environmental stewardship seriously–and building 
responsibly to protect our planet is integral to how we do business.

Building for
the Future

From detailed material management to the recycling of demolished concrete into base rock, environmental conservation and protection is fundamental to all aspects of Pernix International's construction process. Our sustainability in construction expertise, combined with a vast network of contracting resources, significantly minimizes environmental impact and boosts economic advantages in projects of all sizes.

Pernix Sustainability Highlights

01

Pernix Group has participated in Federal, DoD, and private pursuits in more than 30 countries for over $5 Billion worth of Sustainable Rated projects.

02

We constructed Fiji's first LEED registered project. The U.S. Embassy Compound in Suva is one of the earliest integrations of the USGBC green rating system internationally for the US Department of State.

03

Our first LEED Silver project was the Design-Build of the new U.S. Embassy Compound in Mozambique.

04

On average, our green buildings save 70% on solid waste, 40% on water use, 35% on carbon emissions, and 30-50% on energy use.

05

Our team has participated in more than $3 Billion in Design-Build LEED pursuits for the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (OBO) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

06

We have a 100% success rate for LEED Accredited Professionals (AP) and LEED Green Associates (GA) taking USGBC administered tests.

Leadership in Environmental 

& Energy Design (LEED )

As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), we use best-in-class sustainable construction materials, strategies, and practices to implement the USGBC’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system within each project.

Our team is uniquely familiar with the requirements of both the USGBC’s LEED program and the UK Green Building Council’s BREEAM certification. Throughout a project, we provide valuable sustainable guidance either through Design-Build Charrettes or Value Engineered Constructability assessments. Our pre-construction and operations staffs’ experience enable us to offer valuable tools to conduct Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCAs), qualifying payback periods, and energy savings mitigation all in an effort to reduce the net energy output of our buildings, reduce Operations & Maintenance costs for the end-user, and to reduce the carbon emissions and usage of non-reusable energy.
