It’s natural to want to make a real impact on your interior space, and if natural is your style, green design may be the way to go. Green design is a smart way to enhance your interior space while staying committed to the environment. Taking a green approach to your project is as simple or innovative as you want it to be, and VerHalen Commercial Interiors can help.
VerHalen Commercial Interiors represents many product manufacturers focused on improving our environment and preserving our natural resources. From the use of recycled materials, to the manufacturing process and product packaging, these manufactures are dedicated to improving our environment. All elements of your design can be carefully constructed to create a true earth-friendly space.
Buildings impact not only our lives but the environment in numerous ways. After deciding to build green, the products you choose will be manufactured in an environmentally friendly way, and the entire project can be certified by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The USGBC has developed a standardized rating system based on prerequisites and credits. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program is a point system created by the USGBC where your project can earn points in a certification process and then be awarded one of four certification levels: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. LEED certification is based on the following criteria:
- sustainable sites
- water efficiency
- energy and atmosphere
- materials and resources
- indoor environmental quality
- innovation and design process
Your space expresses a lot about you and your values. Green design makes an impact on the health of our environment, can ultimately reduce your operating costs, enhance your building and organizational marketability, potentially increase occupant productivity and help create a sustainable community. VerHalen Commercial Interiors can integrate quality, durability and style while respecting our environment and natural resources on your project.
