A survey commissioned by the Ontario Association of Architects has found that the majority of practices - 75 per cent - expect demand for sustainable design services to remain constant in coming years.
Sixty-two per cent of the 285 firms that responded to the online survey indicated they provide either design or consulting services in this sphere.
Twenty-four per cent anticipate that their practice's sustainable design services will grow in the years ahead.
The survey, conducted in late fall of 2011 by Framework Partners Inc., was intended to capture a snapshot of architectural firms in the province and to understand current market conditions including fees, types of projects and use of OAA resources.
