If you have gone through the rigors of obtaining a LEED certified building, you certainly don’t want to lose that or have it downgraded after the completion of Disaster Recovery work. Building owners of LEED certified buildings need to have contractors who understand this. Hiring a company with experience in working with LEED certified buildings and who have an understanding of environmental sustainability as well as building hygiene is an asset to any recovery project.

The main thing to remember is that first and foremost the products and processes must work to remove any unwanted contaminants. You can’t afford to sacrifice quality for products that are “green” by name only. If certain products are not effective, then the process has to make up for the difference and bring the final solution back to a clean and environmentally friendly state that both solves the issue at hand and leaves the building environment healthy for its occupants.

We at HLM understand environmental sustainability and industrial hygiene. We have several LEED certifications and experience to make sure all qualifications are met through the cleaning and rebuild process. This includes the use of chemicals, materials and methods that could have any impact on maintaining that certification. We see the project as a whole execute the work to meet those goals.

We have been proponents of using environmentally friendly products and materials since before LEED came into prominence. The health of the restoration workers, the building occupants and the building itself has always been part of our work execution plans. We will always leave a building as healthy as possible and those occupying the building with the best environment we can after the completion of the restoration work.
