Recent Recognition

In 2011, Business NH Magazine selected Nobis Engineering, Inc. as a Business of the Year award recipient for our outstanding civic contributions and exceptional performance within the Construction/Engineering/Real Estate industry.

Aspiring Leaders

Nobis was accepted into the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Aspiring Leaders Program in 2010. This newly implemented program challenges companies to actively recycle and reduce carbon emissions. In less than a year, through tracking our carpooling and video conferencing, we decreased our carbon emissions by more than 25,000 pounds. Additionally, our Concord office recycled 69% of our solid waste, surpassing our goal of 50% recycling.

LEED Certified

Nobis' Lowell Office holds the LEED® Gold certification as established by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the nation’s preeminent program for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.

Nobis achieved LEED certification for energy, lighting, water, and material use—as well as incorporating a variety of other sustainable strategies—as part of a historic preservation of the former Davis Sargent Lumber Mill building located in Lowell, MA. This is the first LEED certified building in the City of Lowell, and one of the oldest buildings in the United States to be certified.

The Gold Level LEED Certification was based on a number of green design and construction features that include the following:

Indoor environmental quality
Energy and atmosphere
Materials and resources
Innovation and design process
Water efficiency
Sustainability

Nobis fosters a culture of environmental consciousness. Every day, our commitment results in cost savings for the company and contributes to the goodwill and reputation in the environmental arena.
