Gausnell, O’Keefe & Thomas, LLC co-founder and principal attorney, William Thomas, wrote an article for Modern Contractor Solutions, called “Renewable Energy Poses Enduring Challenges to Construction Professionals.” In it, Thomas, our leading St. Louis construction attorney, explains how the construction industry must adapt to the new sustainability requirements for building and renovation and that associated expenses will need to be explored early and factored into project budgets.
Sustainability requirements should come as no surprise. Since 1997, the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) Committee on the Environment has focused on achieving climate action and justice through design, and annually recognizes the construction industry’s most innovative projects, integrating design excellence with environmental performance.
