McEntire Associates mission strives to achieve goals of sustainability and water conservation in each and every one of our projects. Our in-house water-wise irrigation designers and LEED Accredited Professionals are specially trained and certified in developing and designing sustainable systems for your project. We keep up to date on the latest strategies, methods, and technologies in developing project-specific sustainable goals. These can include:

• Stormwater (rainwater) harvesting
• Design of water-efficient irrigation systems
• Utilizing pervious paving
• Design utilizing native and drought-tolerant plant species
• Recycling and re-use of on-site construction materials
• Design for reducing heat island effect (shade studies)
• Green roof design and installation strategies
• Water-wise irrigation system design and auditing

It is our goal to prove that sustainable “green” methodologies are not on the responsible way to design, but also can be beautiful, cost-effective design solutions to every day design challenges.

Key Benefits of Green Design

Our goal is to prove that sustainable "green" methodologies are not only the responsible way to design, but also can be beautiful, cost-effective design solutions to every day design challenges.. Some examples include:

  Design & installation of water-efficient irrigation systems
  Design utilizing native and drought-tolerant plant species
 Green roof design and installation strategies
  Use of permeable paving to prevent storm-water runoff
  Conserve water by zoning plants based on their watering needs
