Since its founding in 1952, Cosentini has always recognized that healthy indoor environments and energy conservation are not mutually exclusive, and that the ideal building system promotes efficiency, durability, and comfort. The firm has long been concerned with the thoughtful use of natural resources and environmental stewardship.
