The AUCH Construction Headquarters is recognized for exemplary leadership in energy and environmental design.

AUCH’s position in the construction industry allowed it to leverage the message of sustainability, energy/resource conservation, and innovation across the owner, architecture and engineering, contractor, tradesperson, and local communities.
Consumer Energy's Livonia Service Center was one of the first registered LEED v4 projects in the U.S. and includes office, utility meter service, and vehicle maintenance areas. Sustainable project features include using an integrative design process, substantial energy savings verified through energy modeling, envelope commissioning, a high-performance HVAC design, and reflective interior finishes to enhance daylighting.
