What is the meaning of LEED and why is it important?
The LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™ is a voluntary, consensus-based standard to support and certify successful green building design, construction and operations. LEED is transforming the marketplace by providing a nationally recognized certification system to promote integrated, whole-building design practices in the building industry.
There are several benefits to having a LEED certified building/project. For one thing, they can lower operating costs and increase asset value. They can also reduce the amount of waste that is sent to landfills after construction is complete. LEED buildings also reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses that are emitted into the environment. Additionally, many cities provide tax rebates and zoning allowances for LEED buildings/projects, which is an added benefit for the person or company establishing their green haven. However, the greatest thing about LEED certified buildings/projects is that they show the owner’s commitment to environmental health, safety and responsibility.

What are moveable walls and what are their benefits?
Moveable walls are reusable wall systems for commercial interiors that can take the place of standard construction (drywall). They use modular components that are built to specification in the factory and then delivered to the job site, fully assembled and pre-glazed, ready for installation. Moveable walls have the lowest reconfiguration cost compared to other types of walls (traditional construction or demountable walls) and 100% of the components can be reused.
Moveable walls have many benefits. For instance, installation/reconfiguration is simpler, cheaper, and faster with less downtime or impact to client’s staff. They offer easy access to technology and support visual and acoustical privacy. They are environmentally sensible being 100% moveable and made from a high percentage of recycled content that can be separated and recycled for end of life disposal. Their flexible nature allows you to create a signature image with their wide range of aesthetics, helping you to plan for today and for the future. You can move your walls to change with your changing needs. They also offer tax and depreciation benefits over traditional construction allowing you to improve your cash flow. |
