Steven Winter Associates, Inc. is a 36-year-old architectural/engineering research and consulting firm, with specialized expertise in green technologies and procedures that improve the safety, performance, and cost effectiveness of buildings. SWA’s staff that encompasses over 65 architects, engineers, and building scientists works to make buildings safer, more energy efficient, more durable, more affordable, more accessible, and overall, more sustainable.

SWA’s multi-disciplinary skills allow the firm to approach building performance from a “whole building” perspective. The ability to evaluate multiple aspects of a building, and to consider the inter-relationships between various building components, allows SWA to be highly effective in its projects.

As building systems consultants on the built environment, we took the “whole building” approach to incorporating energy and resource efficiency measures into a wide variety of building types: residential, multifamily, commercial, educational, and institutional as well as community building projects.
