The Green House
HESM&A recently worked with WSB-TV and Brock Built to design an Earth friendly home. “The Green House” was built to Earth Craft standards and constructed of innovative Green building materials. The house was auctioned and proceeds benefitted Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
Eco-Friendly Restrooms
HESM&A has brought water saving design to our

utilizing motion sensors in our restrooms.
These two initiatives will save thousands
of gallons in water usage in the
Recyclable Paper
HESM&A in cooperation with Imaging Technologies is using recycled paper for all of our plotting.
