As such, Mr. Cherry understands the fundamentals of green building, including a wide knowledge of green building products, a familiarity with energy-saving technologies and an understanding of sustainable water management and land development practices. Adding a new level of expertise to the firm’s multidisciplinary repertoire, Matt will continue to take a more active role in an ever-increasing number of “green” projects. Mr. Cherry plans to also pursue the LEED ND (Neighborhood Development) accreditation later this year.
