Overview

At CEM Design we focus primarily on historic restoration and renovation, and environmentally sustainable “green” design. While these may seem to be very different areas of expertise, we believe they are essentially complimentary. The most sustainable building conserves and reuses the embodied energy of an existing building. We are corporate members of the USGBC, Energy Star Partners, Green America, and Maryland Green Registry.
The practice of architecture is an inherently paper intensive profession. In 2009, we made a commitment to utilize quantifiably less paper. We now use FTP protocols for sending documents to engineers, consultants, contractors, and reviewers whenever possible. We email clients PDF files for contracts, billing, and plan review, and maintain an on-line plan room with limited access. Our production of waste paper has been reduced by more than 50%. All paper we use must have 50% or greater recycled content.
