Decades before the term “green building” even existed, we at The Goldstein Partnership were utilizing materials and strategies to conserve energy and other natural resources.

Our clients recognized and continue to recognize that such measures pay for themselves in numerous ways, from smaller heating plants to larger percentages of usable space, and from reduced utility bills to enhanced occupant comfort.

For us, sustainability is an attitude that informs virtually every design decision. While LEED and other such rating systems are useful, our approach goes far beyond them, to address issues like building form and cross-sectional efficiency.

Our leadership in sustainable building design is exemplified by the fact that our Maplewood Police & Court Building is the first LEED-certified municipal building of any type in the State of New Jersey (LEED Silver).
