Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship
Built By DAO Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship
At Built By DAO, sustainability is more than a goal—it’s a core principle that informs every decision we make. From construction methods to community design, we prioritize practices that minimize environmental impact, promote resource efficiency, and create lasting value for future generations.
Sustainability Practices and Goals
Sustainable Construction Practices
Energy-Efficient Design We focus on creating buildings that reduce energy demand through optimized insulation, natural lighting, and passive solar strategies. Homes are designed to operate with minimal energy consumption.
Renewable Energy Integration Our developments prioritize renewable energy sources such as solar panels and shared energy grids. These systems not only reduce carbon footprints but also lower long-term energy costs for residents.
Sustainable Materials We source materials locally and prioritize recycled, reclaimed, or low-carbon options. Modular construction techniques help us minimize waste while increasing efficiency.
Water Conservation Systems Water-saving measures include low-flow fixtures, greywater recycling, and rainwater harvesting systems for irrigation and non-potable uses.
Eco-Friendly Community Operations
Energy Monitoring and Feedback Residents have access to energy monitoring tools that provide real-time feedback, empowering them to make eco-conscious choices.
Waste Reduction Programs Built By DAO communities implement robust recycling, composting, and waste diversion programs to reduce landfill contributions.
Green Space Preservation We design developments with abundant green spaces, including parks, gardens, and green rooftops, to promote biodiversity and improve residents' quality of life.
Policy Commitments to Eco-Friendly Development
Carbon Neutrality
We are committed to achieving carbon neutrality by combining energy-efficient construction, renewable energy, and carbon offset initiatives.
Net-Zero Energy Homes
All new developments aim to meet net-zero energy standards, where homes produce as much energy as they consume annually.
Sustainable Land Use
Built By DAO prioritizes underutilized or previously developed land for new projects. In cases of greenfield developments, we incorporate extensive conservation strategies.
Circular Economy in Construction
We adopt circular economy principles by designing properties for adaptability and reuse, reducing waste and extending the lifecycle of materials.
Transparent Reporting
Annual sustainability reports detail energy savings, waste reduction, and environmental impacts, ensuring accountability and continuous improvement.
Internal Sustainability Standards
Green Building Standards All projects align with or exceed established green building standards, such as LEED certification, ensuring our developments meet rigorous environmental criteria.
Education and Alignment We provide education for staff, contractors, and residents on sustainability practices. Vendors and partners are required to adhere to our eco-friendly sourcing policies.
Resident Engagement Workshops and resources are offered to help residents adopt environmentally conscious habits, reinforcing community-wide stewardship.
Accountability and Measurement
Tracking and Reporting We monitor energy use, water consumption, and waste diversion through advanced data collection systems. Progress is assessed annually against clear sustainability benchmarks.
Audit Mechanisms Independent audits are conducted to evaluate our environmental performance and identify areas for improvement.
Goals for the Future
Short-Term Goals (1-3 Years)
Install renewable energy systems in at least 80% of new developments.
Reduce construction waste by 50%.
Increase green space coverage by 30%.
Mid-Term Goals (3-7 Years)
Transition all projects to net-zero energy standards.
Achieve a 30% reduction in water consumption across all communities.
Long-Term Goals (7-10 Years)
Develop carbon-neutral neighborhoods that fully offset emissions.
Enhance biodiversity in all developments through native landscaping and wildlife-friendly designs.
