Greening Projects
There are a number of product categories that can help green the office,
and for new buildings contribute points to LEED certification. The good
news is that these product concepts also often have significant economic
and health benefits.
Compact Storage by Spacesaver
Compact
storage is most commonly associated with filing, however anything that
can be stored can generally be mobilized. As a Spacesaver system typically
takes one half to one third of the space required by regular storage,
using the Spacesaver concept can decrease a new building footprint. As
well, less energy is used to service the storage area once it is in operation.
Compact or high-density storage may assist projects in obtaining a LEED
rating in five of six LEED-CI categories.

health, lowering building costs and using significantly less energy than
standard fluorescent lighting.
