 | Web Exclusive: Building Green for Education
The Carlstadt
Public School —
designed for students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade — became the
first K-8 school in New Jersey
to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification
from the U.S. Green Building Council for efficient energy use, lighting, water
and material use as well as incorporating a variety of other sustainable
strategies.

 | Web Exclusive: Ford Heritage Project
The resulting design not only succeeded in achieving
the initial objectives, it has become a template for future Ford Manufacturing
facilities. The design allowed the building to achieve LEED status through the
use of structural steel, natural lighting and the green roof assembly.

 | Web Exclusive: When There’s Good Design…
When we at USG
started to design our new headquarters space, we knew we wanted to be proactive
about sustainability, but sustainability was not our first goal and neither was
LEED certification. Our goal was good design, and where there’s good design,
there are sustainable design benefits.
