SYNCRO Architecture Studio works closely with clients to bring energy-efficient solutions to their projects. The design process is inherently a sustainable action, or should be, because it requires consideration of alternatives and their consequences. SYNCRO works hard to provide analysis of sustainable alternatives. Today we show support of all efforts to counter climate change by signing on to an Open letter to the international community along with hundreds of other U.S. businesses, universities, cities and state leaders. From the letter:

In December 2015 in Paris, world leaders signed the first global commitment to fight climate change. The landmark agreement succeeded where past attempts failed because it allowed each country to set its own emission reduction targets and adopt its own strategies for reaching them. In addition, nations – inspired by the actions of local and regional governments, along with businesses – came to recognize that fighting climate change brings significant economic and public health benefits.

 
 
We commend San Antonio’s new mayor, Ron Nierenberg, and his leadership toward our City’s official support of the Paris Climate Accord. As a member firm of the American Institute of Architects, we are proud of the work done by AIA Committee on the Environment and its Advisory Group which continues to play an important “role in carbon drawdown through the design, construction, and operations of the built environment….”
