We're all trying to reduce our impact on the earth in one way or another. If you're responsible for the building you're officed in, our designers will develop a value-oriented approach to reduce the square footage requirement for storage. Our high efficiency storage systems, designed and built with sustainability in mind, provide a multitude of benefits. As each project is unique, we offer a partial list:
- Significantly smaller office footprint
- up to 10% reduction of building materials and engineering required for new construction
- reduced energy requirements = ongoing cost savings
- Slowing the required pace of new construction
- Reduces site disturbances and maintains natural habitats
- Allows more efficient space planning
- Increased densities
- Lower lease rates
- Longer lease terms
- Increased open space improves community air quality
- Savings realized by reducing material use can be reinvested:
- higher quality materials
- innovative design
- healthy building initiatives
- element | Sustainable Storage Systems™ conform to the highest standards:
- Recycled content
- Low/zero power requirements
- Rapidly renewable wood + fiber products
- Zero VOC adhesives and finishes
- All systems are engineered to minimize material use while maximizing user safety and IAQ
- Organizations benefit from reduced sick days, increased productivity, improved talent recruiting, lower worker's compensation premiums, among other advantages.
Indeed, the International Facility Management Association estimates that up to 25% of typical work space is dedicated to storage, making it a critical component of any responsibly designed building.
In the U.S., our offices combine to consume a lion's share of our planet's resources, including:
Did you know that sustainable building practices can cost LESS than traditional methods?
