Land use practices have long-term consequences
but this fact is often neglected in our planning activities.

In the past, land use was based purely on economic factors. A plan was made and the land changed to
facilitate use of the site. Very little or no attention was paid to the ecosystems or natural aspects
of the site (i.e. rivers, streams, etc).

Responsible land use means not basing decisions solely on economic factors, but rather taking into
consideration the ethical side of the story. If we follow this approach of Sustainable Development, we take
into consideration that the land that we use today is an asset of generations to come.

With this in mind energeia considers the specific characteristics of each site and designs specifically for
that site. We adapt our construction projects to the site and the benefits to the environment of future
generations are considerable.
