Bostleman’s Commitment to Green Sustainable Building

Bostleman supports the goals and concepts of green construction and sustainable design that are embodied in the standards for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). In fact, most of Bostleman’s project managers are LEED Accredited professionals. Bostleman realizes that Green Sustainable Building practices is not a trend, but a mainstay in the construction industry. Bostleman is seeing many of its clients share this same commitment to Green Building:

The University of Toledo is in the process of achieving Gold certification on the recently completed Savage Arena Renovation/New Athletic Complex by incorporating a heat island effect: roof, light pollution reduction, primary HVAC system VAV with reheat, and hydronic heat loop under gym floor; The Clyde-Green Springs School District is seeking Silver Certification by applying Green principals to their construction projects as well: exterior downward lights, enhanced refrigeration management, reduce construction waste, use products with recycled material, use of daylight sensors, solar hot water heaters, chilled beam systems, and use of indigenous plants.

Other Bostleman clients who have incorporated Green Building into their projects include Lourdes College (New Classroom Building) and The Toledo Zoo (parking lot and Nature’s Neighborhood).
