Designing sustainable transportation options to reduce the carbon footprint of communities.
We design 7-Gen Communities with a full-impact view that includes the transportation and mobility needs of residents. Proximity to local transit or workplace locations is a critical factor in reducing the overall carbon footprint of the community.
Planning for the rapid ascendance of electric vehicles that is already underway, we’re designing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging ports in 7-Gen Communities.
Moreover — we’re modeling options for community-based energy storage systems to add resiliency for residents and other users of the grid.
We will continue to develop local sharing economies, where electric vehicles and e-bikes are available as a pooled resource for community members.
As autonomous driving nears practicality, we’re well-poised to integrate new capabilities into our community designs.
See the principle of Low-Carbon Transportation in action through our EVE Park car share program, EVE Car.
We don’t just build communities; we bring a sustainability focus to the mobility needs of the people who live in them.
Principles for Sustainable Communities
Distributed energy systems powered by renewable energy sources can supply communities and feed energy back to a centralized grid to meet peak needs.
The use and efficiency of one of our most precious resources, water, is given careful attention in our 7-Gen Communities.
Our innovative approach to reducing embodied carbon is a key aspect of building sustainable communities.
Designing sustainable transportation options to reduce the carbon footprint of communities.
Innovations such as carousel parking within sustainable communities allows for the use of park-like green spaces where parking lots once dominated.
Building sustainable communities using renewable energy sources and green building methods for low operational carbon impacts.
We aim to restore disturbed land, creating new urban assets with minimal disruption of foodland and natural habitats.
