The key is an ongoing strategy unique to the longevity, maintenance, and durability needs of an EGD project. But regardless of project specifics, EGD professionals can immediately improve the sustainability of any project by taking the following steps:1. Don’t segregate sustainability from design.
2. Specify locally sourced, sustainable materials that can be recycled.
3. Integrate green communication strategies.
4. Do more with less. Design for less waste.
5. Design easily recycled modular components.
6. Use screws instead of glues for assembly and mounting.
7. Use low-VOC paints and energy-efficient lighting.
8. Get to know one green product at a time.
9. Ask questions and share information.
10. Integrate green standards for fabricators into RFPs.
