Providing economic, social, and environmental value


Parametrix is committed to providing sustainable solutions that improve environmental stewardship and social equity, while providing economic benefits. From low impact development and green building solutions,  to measuring greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for the impacts of climate change we help our clients integrate sustainability measures into a variety of projects. Examples of our sustainable solutions are illustrated throughout many pages on this site; here are just a few samples.

Bayesian Marine Renewable Energy Tool 
Client: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management

Information presently available for siting coastal and marine renewable projects is often uncertain. Parametrix developed a spatial multi-criteria decision analysis system utilizing Bayesian decision methods and GIS-based data processing to inform the development of suitable areas for offshore energy projects. The system integrates oceanographic, ecological, human use data, stakeholder inputs, and cumulative impacts. It also accommodates an unlimited number of inputs, and integrates disparate data on bio-geophysical, social, and infrastructure information. The system is effective for identifying suitable areas for offshore ocean renewable energy projects and marine spatial planning in state territorial seas.
