At ReArch, our commitment to environmental stewardship drives us to take significant strides toward green building and more sustainable construction practices.
We recognize the need to address climate change and reduce our carbon footprint, and we believe that we can make a meaningful impact through deliberate actions and innovative solutions. Central to our approach is a dedicated focus on environmental goals and objectives. We understand that sustainable construction is not just about erecting buildings; it’s about reshaping our built environment in harmony with nature. By integrating sustainable design principles, energy-efficient technologies, and eco-friendly materials into our projects, we aim to minimize resource consumption, reduce waste generation, and mitigate the environmental impact of our construction activities.
To realize our vision of a greener future, we have established a specialized internal sustainability team tasked with developing and implementing initiatives that align with our sustainability goals. Collaborating with industry partners, research institutions, and community stakeholders, our sustainability team continuously explores new technologies, methodologies, and best practices.

Built for energy efficiency
At ReArch, we know the importance of achieving an ultra-tight building envelope as a simple means to reduce annual energy consumption and to construct a resilient low-maintenance building.
Airtightness ratings for ReArch projects
Airtightness Scale – We document each of our projects to ensure that they are achieving a high-performance building or better. The scale shows the air infiltration rate in CFM/sf of surface area at 50 pascals. A 0.05 rating is considered passive house standard, 0.15 is ultra-tight, and 0.25 is high-performance.
