SUSTAINABLE PHILOSOPHY

Green Sand Inc. firmly believes that sustainable or green design should be an inherent part of every project. Green Sand Inc. strives to find that technique, that strategy, that place, in every project where the individual environment, economic, and social benefits combine to be something greater than the individual parts. The added benefit generated by this synergy increases the ultimate value of each project.

We lead by example. We have an established Environmental Policies manual for Green Sand Inc. business operations, which outlines our environmental polices, metrics of success and establishes goals for improvement. Policies include: waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and an environmentally conscious purchasing program. We have reduced our footprint as much as we can for now and have offset our remaining footprint through CarbonFund and are proud to be a carbon neutral company.

We are passionate, knowledgeable, and have the technical expertise required to make your project truly sustainable.

Since the beginning, Green Sand Inc. has been a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and strives to incorporate sustainable design principals into all of our projects, whether they are going for LEED^® Certification or not.  Green Sand Inc. currently has four registered LEED^® Projects including: converting an existing medical facility design to a green design, a multi-family residential project,  a custom home with a goal of LEED^® Platinum and an eco village in the affordable housing sector.
