Environmental Design Professional Liability Insurance

Professional Liability Insurance for Architects & Engineers of Energy and Environmental Design offered by Alexander J. Wayne & Associates.
 
As the energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable design sectors continue to expand, so does the complexity of liability exposures facing professionals in these fields. Architects and engineers working in the Energy and Environmental Design space are especially vulnerable to claims tied to unmet green building standards, energy performance targets, or certification shortfalls. In many cases, litigation stems from perceived economic loss due to these shortfalls—even when best practices were followed.
 
Alexander J. Wayne & Associates offers a specialized solution—Professional Liability Insurance tailored specifically for design professionals in the green and energy-efficient building space. As a wholesale broker with access to a wide range of carriers, we help agents and brokers place coverage for hard-to-place risks that may fall outside the appetite of traditional carriers.
 

Ideal Accounts and Appetite

This program is designed for licensed architects, engineers, and consultants involved in projects that incorporate sustainable design, LEED certification, renewable energy integration, or environmentally conscious construction methods. Ideal accounts may include:
  • Firms involved in LEED-certified buildings or green infrastructure projects
  • Consultants offering energy modeling or environmental impact analysis
  • Engineers designing HVAC, solar, or energy-efficient mechanical systems
You might have a client who designs sustainable office buildings with solar panel integration or a firm that advises municipalities on energy-saving retrofits—these are the types of accounts we can help you place.
