Chief’s Green Initiative

Chief Architect is proud to be a Green company and provide the resources for green building and design. As a part of our company, we have significantly reduced our packaging materials and inventory. Our packaging size was reduced by over 50% and we stopped printing our manuals as a default product option (over 1,500 pages in some manuals). What this means is, we are using less raw materials from trees, petroleum, and less energy to produce, store and ship our products. In addition, less waste is generated by our customer at the end of the product life cycle. And, when a customer downloads our home design software products, there is zero usage of packaging or the services used to create, deliver and dispose of the packaging – a win-win for our environment.

Within Chief Architect software and our website, we are providing more resources and content to help our customers learn more about the green building and design process. We hope you will find information that will help you be more Green for your next design!
