Sustainable and scalable, NET POSITIVE™ puts our built world in tune with the environment at three scales: Neighbourhoods, buildings, and interiors.

The ecological and social transitions our world needs can be found at every level of Lemay’s designs, where sustainable materials, cutting-edge renewable technologies, active design measures and beyond come together to create sustainable and meaningful spaces where everyone flourishes.

Every year, we release a new edition documenting how this rigorous, award-winning framework for maximizing sustainable strategies takes shape: Its benefits, applications, results, next steps, and—most of all—what it can bring to your projects.
