REAL Building was formed in late 2006 with a belief that there was a better, more holistic way of designing and building places that inspired a more responsible, efficient, and healthy lifestyle. Our founder, Taylor Ralph, helped to design, build and certify the Tampa Bay region’s first LEED-certified home, as part of the LEED Pilot Program, implementing innovative practices not used in the region before such as rainwater and greywater harvesting, prefabricated construction techniques, healthy building design and native landscaping. It is from this transformational, innovative project that REAL Building Consultants was born. REAL Building Consultants (REAL) is a full-service sustainability consulting team providing collaborative services that help our clients create responsible, efficient and healthy places where we live, work, learn and play. Our diverse team is focused on delivering “triple bottom line” solutions for our clients—integrating services that positively impact the financial, environmental and social performance of real estate development projects. REAL provides a wide range of services that work independently, or can be delivered as a holistic solution for our clients. These services include Sustainable Real Estate Planning, LEED Certification Consulting, Energy Analysis and Modeling, Building Commissioning, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting and Custom Sustainability Management. We focus on value-add solutions that help deliver high-quality, innovative, healthy and high-performance real estate projects through productive collaboration with our clients and their design/build and operations teams. https://www.realbuildingconsultants.com/home-1 daily 1.0 2022-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602e7b7cafe8b9484e104608/1614738324562-ZPLTM0GTWC35B9QN9KNS/Digital+City+Image.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602e7b7cafe8b9484e104608/1614738087633-VMNE92UUEN8Q3STJVNIY/1K2A0467.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602e7b7cafe8b9484e104608/1614738261502-0PKFTXZDLWIUQ4QE43RZ/teamwork+image.jpg Home https://www.realbuildingconsultants.com/contact-2 daily 0.75 2022-06-21 https://www.realbuildingconsultants.com/services daily 0.75 2023-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602e7b7cafe8b9484e104608/1614786657586-NHV2VWHF0Y8C7ES0ZB20/real+solar.jpg Services - Our holistic services help create more responsible, efficient and healthy buildings where we live, work, learn and play.
