With alarming environmental topics like global warming and energy costs dominating our headlines, “green” has the word in business today. At long last, American industry is finally recognizing the importance of taking steps to reduce their impact onour fragile environment. For R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services, though, “being green” is nothing new; we have been providing environmental services since 1935.

One approach that the construction industry has taken toward protecting our environment and saving energy is the LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) Green Building Rating System. LEED is the U.S. Green Building Council’s nationally accepted benchmark for environmentally sustainable construction. Buildings that are LEED-certified have been shown to provide healthier work and living conditions, greatly reduce environmental impact, and are more energy efficient.

R. Baker & Son has always been committed to providing clients with projects that go well above and beyond basic code compliance. That is why R. Baker & Son clients who are seeking LEED certification are always ensured that they will receive all available rating points in categories pertaining to our portion of their project.

Here are a few of the categories where R. Baker & Son can help clients earn LEED points:

Recycling of demolition materials

Recycling of new construction materials

Brown field development

Selection of existing site reuse
