Implementing the latest methodologies and innovations to receive LEED certification, however, requires an intimate understanding of the design of high-performance, sustainable buildings.
Coast Live Tropicals has been on the vanguard of the green building effort for more than a decade. We’ve been helping corporations, malls, hospitals, nursing homes, and businesses of every type to become “Green buildings” – and we can do the same for your firm or home.
No matter your goals or needs, Coast Live Tropicals has the expertise and products to help you become LEED-certified or to just make your building more efficient and environmentally friendly. We invite you to contact us to learn how we can transform your property into an environmental oasis.
Here are some of the ways we help your building earn LEED certification, or just make your facility more attractive and efficient:
- Reducing water consumption by using contained watering systems and by using appropriate equipment to reclaim irrigation water for inside plants (Water Efficiency credit 1.2 & 1.1).
- Installing plants in a closed environment in order to help lower temperatures and cut cooling costs (Energy and Atmosphere credit 2).
- Using our exclusive planting media and top dressings made from recycled material, as well as our line of containers made from post-consumer materials (Materials and resource credit 4.1 & 4.2).
- Installing rooftop gardens to combat the heat island effect (Sustainable Sites credit 7.7).
- Using green plants to remove harmful pollutants from indoor environments.
- Creating innovative designs and processes that are recognized within the LEEDS point system.
