- Environmentally sensitive and preferable to its conventional alternative?
- Requires technical expertise to sell, specify or install?
- Optimized for performance when integrated early in design process?
- Requires expensive “butts in trucks” for site assessment and installation?
vivo liaises between a) clients, building owners, A/E/Cs, b) manufacturers/suppliers and c) regional/local specialized trades and installers to ensure seamless delivery of green building materials and technologies to projects.
- Perform site and user assessment to develop sustainability goals and strategies
- Consult on design solutions to address project’s sustainability strategies
- Manage specification and fulfillment
- Shepherd regulatory issues and requirements
- Organize logistics for transportation and storage to minimize costs and environmental impacts
- Streamline and coordinate delivery of technology/materials from concept design through occupancy phases, and from site assessments through installation and commissioning procedures

"In principle, all decisions that affect or are meant to improve the
environmental performance of a product/service should be scrutinized in
terms of their life cycle implications. For the environmental
perspective, a product's life cycle can be represented as a circular
movement that ties together resource extraction, production,
distribution, consumption and disposal. In other words, all the phases
of organized matter and energy that are in some way related to the
making and use of a product can also 
be linked to an impact on the
environment."
