In the United States, buildings will:
- use 30% of the total energy produced
- consume 60% of all electricity annually
- drain 5 billion gallons of water per day to flush toilets
- produce 2.5 pounds of solid waste per square foot to build out
Small wonder that sustainable initiatives are so much in the news. It seems people are finally tired of paying the price for construction methods that don't factor in evolving workplaces, for furniture manufactured without regard to environmental impact, and for planning that emphasizes quantity and speed of construction over quality and long term viability.
Western Contract works with many vendors -- including Haworth, an industry leader in environmentally friendly products -- to devise a system of sustainable interiors that is designed to work together, in many cases without additional expense.
More than any one product or service, our Green Interiors initiative combines technologies like the TecCrete raised floor system with the flexibility of LifeSpace and Enclose walls to offer a solution that allows for spaces to change and expand as needed, with little additional cost or effort. Of course, we also offer standalone products such as the high-design Zody chair, which combines carefully crafted ergonomics with 98% recyclability.
