LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

Sustainable or "green building” design is the practice of, constructing, operating, maintaining, and remodeling buildings in ways that conserves natural resources, and reduces negative impacts on the environment.   As members of the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council), ATI is committed to cooperatively developing practical, common-sense, sustainable design options for our clients.  Considerations typically include energy consumption, capital costs, life cycle costs, maintenance, reliability and noise. Where high-performance mechanical and electrical options are involved, ATI’s standard approach places emphasis on safety, and strives to maintain the well being of facility personnel while effectively reducing the client’s overall exposure to unnecessary risk and liability.  Additionally, ATI investigates available rebate and incentive programs such as Smart Start and E-Rate. Once all the options have been tabled, our clients can confidently decide which options to implement.
