  1. Сохранение
    • Использование переработанных, восстановленных и повторно используемых материалов
    • Быстро возобновляемые ресурсы
    • Охраняемые/охраняемые ресурсы

    • Отсутствие или очень низкое содержание ЛОС (летучих органических соединений)
    • Ингибитор плесени
    • Уменьшитель звука
  3. Ответственность
  4. Энергия
    • Снижение энергопотребления во время строительства и на протяжении всего жизненного цикла здания

  5. Местный
    • Местное производство в радиусе 500 миль

Even using this framework it can still be difficult to sort through the clutter of information regarding “Green Building Practices.” Conventional wisdom relies on verification from respected third parties to help navigate the world of “Green Building Products” successfully. For your reference, we have included a list of what we consider to be the most credible rating agencies.

Currently, it is no longer enough for products to be considered “Green”; they have to perform their intended use well over time. Tague aligns itself with responsible manufacturers that make conventional, high-performance products that last. The company also prides itself on its ability to handle special order products effectively and efficiently.

Additionally, Tague Lumber continually strives to keep both its employees and its customers informed about “Green Building Practices”; the company regularly hosts Educational Forums that offer Continuing Education Credits for members of the Design and Specifying Community regarding Sustainable Construction.

Selecting sustainable materials can help projects meet LEED goals and improve long-term operating efficiency. Our team helps contractors and designers identify options that balance environmental responsibility with performance and cost-effectiveness.
