T.E. Scott & Associates, Inc. (TSA) provides site related consulting, design and support services for owners, design firms, architects, and non-profit organizations on green building projects.

TSA recognizes and is sensitive to techniques that must be employed on environmentally sensitive projects.  We are familiar with and approach the various elements of site design in accordance with the U. S. Green Building Council LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System®.  

We are an enthusiastic and flexible design team member who is open to ideas and challenged by getting unique ideas "on the ground" and approved.  We enjoy collaboration with other design disciplines - either individually or in an organized charrette forum. 

Our creative flexibility brings the opportunity to provide input and/or design services for overall site design and stormwater related elements.

As a result of TSA's experience, we have developed two distinct set of guidelines to assist designers in integrating stormwater management throughout a site:  Green Grading and Integrated Bioretention Design.  Green Grading guidelines assist designers in establishing slope, drainage patterns, and treatment locations; while Integrated Bioretention Design provides a tool for quick planametric location and sizing of bioretention facilities.

 

"Developers often think front-loaded planning and design will cost more and delay project schedules.  Greater up-front investments of time and money typically are required [on Green Building projects], but those costs are often recovered - with interest...."
