Matic of AKRF discusses career

Since the publication of PlaNYC, the city's blueprint for sustainable growth, there has been a greater focus on planning for sustainable development. At AKRF, I've been lucky to have the opportunity to help clients identify design strategies that simultaneously reduce energy costs, count towards LEED certification, and demonstrate consistency with the city's goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I look forward to continuing to assist clients with plans to protect their investments and infrastructure from flooding and sea level rise due to climate change. My expertise in air quality analysis and engineering background enable me to identify a range of options for reducing a project's potential for air quality impacts. In our densely populated neighborhoods, local air quality challenges often arise, especially with increasingly stringent air quality standards.
