Green Building
Building green can also reduce your operating costs, improve occupant productivity, and optimize life-cycle economic performance. There are many steps you can take to green your project.
Add Green Value to Your Project
Many products that you're already familiar with add green value to your project. For example, the Butler MR-24 roof system in Solar White meets the reflectance standards for cool roofs. Cool roofs reflect the sun's rays instead of absorbing them, reducing energy costs and mitigating the Heat Island Effect, which causes smog. Adding insulation, building up a flat roof, and adding water efficient fixtures are cost effective ways to reduce your energy costs and your project's impact on the environment. Call Steinberger to discuss what green initiatives are right for your business.
Greening the Construction Process
Steinberger Construction is committed to reducing the impact of construction on the environment. We reuse and recycle as many of the materials as possible on the jobsite, including cardboard, wood, concrete, and drywall. On a recent LEED-Gold project, we diverted over 90% of all of the construction debris, well over the LEED standard of 50%.
