Volpatt Construction Expands Partnership With Green Building Alliance
Pittsburgh, PA – November 29, 2023 – Volpatt Construction, a general contractor and construction management firm serving the Western PA Tri-State area today announced an expanded partnership with Green Building Alliance (GBA).
GBA positively transforms the world through the built environment to address climate change, advance human health, achieve social equity, and create thriving economies. As a supporter of the organization, Volpatt Construction will be working closely with GBA to advance the future of building with an eye on efficiency and sustainability.
“Embracing forward thinking, when it comes to greener building practices, is our ethical and corporate responsibility and by partnering with GBA we come one step closer to meeting this key strategic objective,” said Michael Volpatt, Vice President of Marketing and Innovation. “Our goal is to bring GBA closer to the work that we are doing and engage them in pre-construction to help think about sustainability across the lifecycle of design, construction, project closeout, and beyond. We also see opportunities to advance the efforts of the Pittsburgh 2030 District and look forward to working with their team on this important initiative.”
The Pittsburgh 2030 District is a founding member of the 2030 Districts Network, which connects more than 20 cities around the world. Founded in 2012, Pittsburgh is the largest 2030 District in North America, including Philadelphia, Seattle, and Toronto. The robust network of 550 properties has saved $393.4 million of cumulative utility cost savings and avoided 2.49 million metric tons of CO2e to date.
“It is gratifying to see Volpatt embrace integrated design and early sustainability considerations in projects,” said Chris Cieslak, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Programs for GBA. “We appreciate their interest in introducing the concepts of low energy use, lifecycle considerations, and other aspects of sustainable design to their clients and project teams, and we look forward to seeing the impacts of this partnership.”
