Green Symbol over Globe

Julian Swain Builders provides products and materials not only that are environmentally responsible but also that support the formal certification for projects.  We understand that the green building field grows and changes daily and that our clients seek opportunities to improve both the environment as a whole and the work spaces of those who use the buildings.  The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) specifies the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification to provide guidelines on building practices that promote healthy, durable, affordable, and environmentally sound practices in both building design and construction.

Julian Swain Builders has extensive experience in design and build processes to produce products that support LEED certification.  No single product or process can guarantee the credit points toward certification by the Green Building Certificaiton Institute; however, Julian Swain Builders uses a variety of materials and techniques that meet the credit requirements in LEED certification programs.  These include:

  • IEQ Credit 3.2:  Indoor Air Quaility
  • IEQ Credit 4.1:  Low-emitting Materials (Adhesives and Sealants)
  • IEQ Credit 4.2:  Low-emitting Materials (Paints and Coatings)
