The LEED Certification Award was recently awarded to Advanced Disposal- Green Bay for their construction project adhering to the sustainable design and construction standards by the U.S. Green Building Council. The LEED certification program is administered by the U.S. Green Building Institute and certification is applied upon project completion. The LEED acronym stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Smet Construction Services presented the award to Brian Hopkins, Vice President, of Advanced who said: “We are proud to receive this award. It is our goal to be as environment-friendly as we can. It was the right way to build this building, to receive LEED certification.”
This LEED project was 8,500 SF and focused on renovation of 5,677 SF of office space and providing a one story addition of 2,823 SF to an existing building. The facility provides truck repair and office space for the disposal company. The project attributes diverted over 50% of construction waste from landfills while reducing potable water usage by 22%. The project achieved a reduced cost of energy while total energy savings exceeded 20%. While the design scope changed as the project went along, the project was delivered on budget.
