Each material was carefully researched to be maximum contributors to the Certification. Over 99% of our debris was recycled, reused or re-purposed, so that our landfill contribution was a mere 18 pounds. We developed a recycling program before we purchased computers. Along with using highly recyclable, regional, and rapidly renewable materials, motion sensors are utilized in the periodically-used spaces, and 98% of our appliances are Energy Star qualified.
Each staff member has an exterior view and access to natural daylight, which aides in employee comfort/productivity and also lowers energy consumption.
Along with constant cost analysis, quantity analysis was performed to ensure that one credit criteria would not cancel out another precious credit. The discovery and use of materials that resonated across multiple categories proved essential to our Platinum pursuit.
