Ellavut

 Among the richest, most evocative words in the Yup’ik language is ella, translated as “weather,” “world,” “universe,” and “awareness,” depending on context. This traditional  ecological knowledge of ella is built into our DNA --and sustainable building practices is a natural outgrowth of our business culture.

Our environmental practice provides the foundation for our industry-leading team of planners, engineers, designers and technology experts. As advocates and stewards of our natural environment we always work to deliver project that are equitable, sustainable and that make a genuine difference to our clients.

Our Approach

We are rooted in building a strong foundation

Our three-step building and sustainability process will help you understand your biggest impact. Our holistic approach is smarter because it optimizes our clients’ resources to improve system reliability, process, productivity, comfort and efficiency. 


We apply a comprehensive line of integrated and scalable solutions that deliver:

  • Energy and operating cost savings
  • Increased staff productivity
  • Reduced downtime and equipment costs
  • Reduced environmental impact
  • Enhanced government compliance 

.

Our energy audit is a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of a building’s current energy use. Results from energy audits provide insight for building owners and also identify the most economical and energy-saving opportunities. We examine energy bills and load profile in an effort to provide our clients with a multi-disciplined engineering analysis. From these analyses, TABO develops a prioritized list of operational/ capital/or process-related improvements for your organization. 


The process identifies opportunities for reducing environmental burdens, leading to more sustainable design and construction practices. Based upon the audit findings, we can help design improved energy efficiency, environmental and economic impacts. Our lifecycle assessment (LCAs) Quantify the environmental effects of a building, considering energy usage, emissions, and resource depletion. Decision-makers can use LCAs to evaluate and compare design alternative to meet sustainability goals. 


The operational phase of a building often has the most important environmental impact. It includes energy consumption for heating, cooling, lighting, maintenance and all other operational activities during the building’s usage and occupancy. We will gather the current facility requirements and parameters that the building and its systems should meet to perform at their best and provide recommendations on how to improve the building's overall performance.
