Integral Design Construction is deeply committed to sustainability, using several means of reducing the use of natural resources and limiting waste during the construction process.
Along with the use of Leed certified products, we are able to further reduce emmissions by utilizing local tradesman to preassemble framing details within project plans at our shop. This preassembly process not only reduces our road travel, it enables us to utilize the scrap into smaller assemblies and eventually recycle the balance. Utilizing framing RFI's as an opportunity to suggest alternative details that require less material has been a huge success in reducing the use of natural material.
It is through these practices that we have been able to reduce our road travel by an average of over 500 miles per week and reduce our steel consumption by 1,000's of linear feet per year.
IDC has also completed several LEED projects including the historic renovation of the Linde + Robinson Laboratory for Global Environmental Science.
