Tricia Loe
I grew up in the beautiful state of Louisiana in tall pine country and living in the southern U.S. has taught me that the sun is our most abundant resource.
Tricia Loe
President
With deep experience in the sustainable building industry, I assist our clients in achieving and exceeding their sustainability goals. My comprehensive understanding of current sustainable development trends such as decarbonization, renewable energy, resilience, and workplace wellness allow me to empower clients to make informed decisions when implementing sustainable strategies. I enjoy taking part in sustainability charrettes, where we use the integrative process to identify, clarify, and optimize the best green building strategies for each client – strategies that benefit our clients’ organizations while also contributing to a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable world.
I’ve been involved in leading the sustainable development community for many years. I currently serve as Chair of the USGBC Texas Board of Directors, and I’m a past-chair of the AIA Dallas Committee on the Environment (COTE).
I’m available for speaking engagements at professional organizations on topics related to green building and sustainable development on a case-by-case basis.

During my time off, I love spending time in Northern New Mexico at our family cabin and cooking meals for my family and friends.

Vice President
I am a veteran in the sustainability world with almost 20 years of experience in assisting clients with LEED consulting and coordination. I have been involved in the LEED certification for new construction for every facet of commercial real estate including office buildings, warehouses, fire stations, museums, libraries, convention centers and airports. Existing building certification is near and dear to my heart as I spent many years in the commercial real estate industry. In 2006, with LEED just getting started, I served as the owner representative to build the first privately held LEED Platinum Core and Shell building in the U.S.
When working on sustainability projects, I am amazed at how much progress there has been in the past twenty years. I’m more excited than ever about our industry and the important changes being made every day. Everyone is involved including school children, corporations, airports, cities, property owners, and more. Whenever I hear of construction materials that have advanced to meet LEED standards, I know we are making progress.

I believe trees are the answer to many of life’s queries. I’ve been affectionately referred to as a tree-hugger, however my biggest hugs are reserved for people.
Susan Haas Ufer
Project Manager
I am a life-long learner that began in landscape architecture, but through passion and values, coupled with the emergence of the new definition of green, evolved to pursue a career in sustainability. It has been exciting to be an integral part of a growing industry and to be among those who are taking seriously our responsibility to value our earth
and in turn, its inhabitants.
Development with sustainability at the forefront can be hugely impactful. As influencers of the design and construction of tomorrow’s buildings and outside spaces, we have the power to literally change the world. The proper placement of a project, the materials specified, the amount of water consumed on-site, along with the gambit of energy-related considerations are just some of the factors that I am delighted to help each client explore. The goal is to partner with our clients, to provide the best projects
which value people, the planet as well as profit.

During my time off, I wonder if I’m getting better at golf, or if I’m only getting more innovative with my shots.
Skyler Clenney
Project Manager
A successful leader in managing complex projects, I strive to make a difference in this world for a healthier planet. I’m committed to to advancing health, wellness, and sustainability in the spaces we create and inhabit. My goal is to continue progressing along with the quickly evolving industry, valuing people and planet. Every building has an opportunity to make a difference through sustainability measures.
As I deepen my experience in the sustainable building industry, I enjoy building relationships throughout the nation. Part of meeting people with similar goals includes spending my time becoming involved with professional organizations, including the Green Globes Emerging Professional, a Fitwel Ambassador, involved with the USGBC, and IREM. Submitting projects for review and certification processes makes me proud to be a part of LEED sustainability initiatives.
