Going Green
Did you know that 30% of the nation’s greenhouse
gas emissions come from buildings? Did you know that buildings
account for 36% of America’s total energy use? Recognizing
the importance of these statistics, Lee Kennedy Co. has become
a member of the U.S. Green Building Council. The purpose of
the Council is to support sustainable building design and
construction.
“Green Building is a positive evolution
for the industry,” notes Director of Preconstruction
Services Blair Banker. A sustainable building uses less energy,
therefore saving owners considerable money in operating costs.
Green buildings are constructed with the end user in mind.
Air quality, lighting and functionality is better, thus increasing
employee productivity. “The benefits to the owners, occupants,
community and future generations are considerable,” notes
Blair.
