Scottsdale Winnelson is quickly becoming the GREEN product leader in Arizona, providing GREEN design build services to all participants small and large. Our team approach includes product specification and selection, quantitative savings analysis, continuing education and LEED point credit calculation.

According to the U.S. GREEN Building Council (USGBC), buildings have a tremendous impact on the environment ("Why Build Green?", U.S. Green Building Council, www.usgbc.org). Implementing green building practices can help minimize the impact buildings have on the natural environment. The environmental benefits of going green include improved air and water quality, protecting and preserving natural resources, and reducing waste.

GREEN building also offers economic benefits, such as lower operating costs thanks to better energy- and water-efficiency. In fact, The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reports that on average green buildings "use 30% less energy than conventional buildings" ("AIA Issue Brief: The Economics of Green," August 2006, www.aia.org). Lower operating costs can also enhance the overall value of the building.

According to the EPA, most Americans spend 90% of their time indoors—at work, school or home. Better indoor environments (improved air quality, for example) provide health benefits to occupants, which in turn improve productivity. By minimizing the strain on local infrastructures, GREEN buildings also benefit the community ("Benefits of Green Building," U.S. Green Building Council, www.usgbc.org).

The "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design" or LEED program developed by USGBC is a nationally accepted performance standard used to measure the efficiency and sustainability of buildings constructed in the US and Canada. On November 27, 2006, the USGBC became an accredited Standards Developing Organization by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Scottsdale Winnelson remains pro-active in "leeding" the way to GREEN building solutions for all your projects whether new construction or an existing building (EB).
