IN-HOUSE EFFORTS

In addition to making your project more eco-friendly, we take steps in our own operation to minimize our environmental impact:

OFFICE

• In an effort to go paperless, we use an electronic method of maintaining our records and files.

PLANT AND FIELD

• We use reusable steel racks as opposed to disposable wooden crates or racks, which are used once and thrown out.
• We ask our glass vendors to deliver our glass on reusable racks instead of wooden crates.
• We use reusable plastic skids made from recycled materials.
• We use reusable rubber dividers to space our windows during delivery instead of wood dividers.

Sustainable Building

Trainor Glass is on the forefront of how glazing can help meet sustainable building and LEED certification goals. The energy performance of glass and aluminum framing systems is a critical component of any green building and we work to find the right product for your design requirements.

We know the value that natural daylight, views, and ventilation bring to the occupants of a building. The balancing of light versus solar heat gain is one of the main challenges in sustainable building, a challenge that we are prepared to help you meet.

We understand U.S. Green Building Council's submittal requirements on LEED projects and are prepared to provide you with the information you need.

We team up with the right vendors to achieve recycled content goals.
