province that has only sustained 82 LEED-registered buildings,
and only five that are certified, and the building was one of the

landmark in our practice and let clients know we do sustainable
design as well as interesting developments.”
ABCP is certified by the Canadian Green Building Council (CaG-
BC) and are taking their environmental and economic expertise
to other countries. “Sustainable development is integrated in
all of our projects, and more public and private clients require a
minimum of sustainable design in their projects,” says Francois.
“We provide an equitable approach that is not only energy ef-
ficient but make sure the local industry is guided as well. It’s all
part of the puzzle to make sure the projects will be well-received
by the city.” ABCP relishes in its recent achievement of the Gold
certification in LEED design and deploys practices that put the
earth’s ecological needs at the forefront.
