Forging a new path that leads to closely examining and effectively managing the environmental and human impact of every building they develop, the Dowling Company, Inc. has adopted the nationally recognized U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Rating System. The intent of green building design is to balance environmental responsiveness, resource efficiency, and cultural and community sensitivity.

      The goal of this process is to create buildings that meet the needs of current building occupants while being mindful of the needs of future generations. The Dowling Company began with their own office, which is the first LEED certified building on Maui and demonstrates their commitment to fulfilling their corporate values of superior quality and maintaining the vitality and well-being of Maui .

      Their own LEED certification effort enabled them to identify and improve performance in five areas: Sustainable Site, Water, Energy and Atmosphere, Indoor Environmental Quality and, Materials and Resources. Since that time, the Dowling Company has registered an additional eight buildings throughout its projects on Maui for LEED certification.
