THE SHOP: ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY & OTHER FEATURES

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

The U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green rating system has revolutionized the entire commercial construction industry.  Metal is a big player in the growing Green Building Movement.  Aluminum’s natural resistance to the damaging effects of climate change throughout the year, make it a great construction option.  Spectrum owner, Neil Chrisman says, “we are very much involved in the new Green Building Movement.  Our powder facility, with the use of powder coatings, allows us LEEDS certification on projects that demand the use of environmentally friendly and sustainable products.”


The PNC Bank Firstside Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was awarded the 2001 LEED Silver Certificate for Environmental Design and Construction.
