Sustainability Consultancy Aims at Guiding AEC Firms

Sustainability industry leaders Gunnar Hubbard and Michael Pulaski have launched Solen Works, a sustainability consulting company that will provide project consulting and advisory services to help architecture and engineering firms develop climate-positive design and leadership strategies.

Headquartered in Portland, ME, the new firm will also offer a strategic Innovation Lab aimed at helping businesses grow and expand to new markets and will conduct workshops and industry roundtables to move the needle on climate change. The company has been accepted into Northeastern University’s prestigious Roux Institute ClimateTech Incubator in Portland.

“The built environment accounts for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, and there is enormous opportunity for firms working in this space to establish themselves as sustainability leaders as we address these challenges,” said Hubbard. “We’re excited to partner with promising climate-positive companies and support their growth with the relationships and expertise they need to succeed at scale.”
