Turn Your Property
into a LEED-Certified Building
Property owners and managers seek
certification through greener alternatives
With the boom in green
movements throughout
the country, eco-conscious
property owners and
managers are increasingly
looking to turn their existing sites into LEED-Certified
buildings. And, doing so is
just plain good business.
Buildings with LEED certification benefit from government incentives, marketing
opportunities and increased
property values as well as
reduced costs to building
management and energy and
lifecycle cost savings.
While many green strategies
come with a hefty price tag, eco-signage is a cost-effective greener alternative that can help you arrive
at a silver, gold or even platinum LEED-certification
status.
On the path towards LEED certification?
Consider this … The raw materials in the signage
may contribute LEED points to your project. Ask
about eco-signage options including:
•Composite hardwood boards made up of wood
shavings or waste
•Aluminum, which is recyclable and rust-proof
•Cast metals – the ultimate in recyclable – which
are made with reclaimed metals and are manufactured in ways that leave very little waste, if any
•New lighting technologies – LEDs – lower energy
usage for the life of the sign.
Top: Aluminum letters are made
from 100% recycled content.
Bottom: Wood sign backer with
engraved Rowmark face. Rowmark is a USA - made product
that contains recycled content.
SIGNARAMA is the industry’s leader in signage and a
great resource for discussing ways to incorporate eco-signage into your facility. Contact your local SIGNARAMA
for more information on their eco-signage offerings. Find
