Sustainable Design Group together with its non profit subsidiary, the
International Center for Sustainable Development, have been in the forefront of sustainable development technology for over 30 years. The group’s founder, John Spears, is an internationally recognized expert in energy conservation, renewable energy systems, indoor air quality and sustainable design.

Sustainable Design Group has helped numerous institutions and developers develop sustainable community development projects in the USA and around the world. Sustainable Design Group designed the first passive solar, sustainable community development project in South Africa. This project was selected to be presented at the UN Global Warming Conference in Kyoto Japan in December 1997 as an example of how developing nations can grow and prosper while minimizing the emissions of greenhouse gases. Known as a “no regrets” project, this development cost no more to implement than conventional development and creates sustainable economic growth and stable healthy communities.
