The firm’s new space was designed by Charles Kifer & Associates and Gensler. LEED certification was achieved through energy use, lighting, and water and material use, as well as incorporating a variety of other sustainable strategies.

Twenty-two RBF Consulting team members recently completed LEED Professional Accreditation from the USGBC. In recognition of their accreditation and commitment to professional development, the company honored each team member with a $750 bonus for their dedication to building an environmentally sustainable future.
