Keeping System Efficiency in the Forefront

Green, sustainable, high-power building is the goal of the US Green Building Council and seems to be the future of the construction industry. Not only has Cooper Oates been a member of USGBC since 2009, but we have also participated in numerous LEED projects, both ground-up and retrofit. Though there are many vital elements in any LEED certified building such as natural light, landscaping, acoustic privacy, conservation of natural resources, and the use of non-toxic building materials, the Indoor Environmental Quality score combined with the Energy and Atmosphere score accounts for 40%, the largest slice of the LEED rating.

Cooper Oates has long known that optimal interior air quality can translate into many benefits for both tenants and building owners including a reduction of employee absenteeism, employees that feel more productive and comfortable, and major energy savings. While these are well-publicized components of LEED certification, the old-fashioned principles of forethought and efficiency are brought to every Cooper Oates project, not just those in LEED competition.
