BNIM's Summit Method

Doing Well By Doing Good

What if your next building investment could reduce long-term costs, cut carbon, and improve occupant health all at once?

The Summit MethodSM is a new comparative analysis methodology developed by BNIM to help clients holistically map building performance and cost scenarios for smarter decision-making across both existing and new building solutions.

Incorporating energy and financial modeling, the Summit Method enables comparative cost-benefit scenario planning that supports performance goals, financial prosperity, and positive outcomes for people and the planet.

Driving company profit – doing well – is often viewed as conflicting with investment in strategies with positive health, environmental, and social impacts – doing good.

The Summit Method demonstrates how businesses can be successful in doing well by doing good.
