What is the Sustainable Systems Integration MethodTM (SSIMTM)?

SSIMTM is a decision support

method/tool for clients
SSIMTM is an integrated, whole
systems approach to planning,
design and engineering
Systems are optimized from a
cost/benefit perspective to
target the biggest bang for your
buck
SSIMTM has been extensively
used on private sector, public
sector and federal applications
