The Office
Our role as a leader in sustainability intersects our practice of sustainability in our office. We strive to maintain an environment that meets or exceeds the standards of the USGBC LEED O+M rating system. Although we function under many of the guidelines for LEED O+M today, we will apply for our LEED O+M Certification shortly after relocating our offices in 2010.
Our adopted practices include the following:
• 100% Sustainable Purchasing of Consumable
• All Electronics must meet Energy Star Ratings
• 100% Green Power
• Energy Efficiency – 100% CFL or LED and Automatic Controls
• Water Efficiency - Dual Flush Toilets and Low Flow Fixtures
• Repurposed Office Furniture – Old Doors and Retail Fixtures become Desks and Tables
• Organic Matter is turned into Compost for our Home Gardens
• Recycling – Everyone has a Recycling bin but there is only One “Trash” Can
• And More…
