LEED and Eco-Friendly Signage
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, is a standard created by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED is a global green building rating and credentialing system that reflects purposeful development, construction and maintenance of buildings in a way that benefits the environment by reducing waste and conserving resources. Each day, over 2.2 million square feet of projects become LEED certified.
Organizations pursuing LEED certification may seek energy saving or water efficiency opportunities, choose processes that lower carbon emissions, and use recycled or sustainable materials. If your business has set a goal of LEED certification, we salute your commitment to the health of our planet and fight against climate change.
Dale Sign Service is proud to be your partner in meeting and maintaining these standards with eco-friendly signage options that may add LEED points to an overall building project. If sustainable and environmentally friendly signage are a priority for your company, here are some ways Dale Sign Service can help.
Reduce power consumption. LED stands for light emitting diodes. Internally illuminated signs using LED technology improve energy efficiency. It uses less power traditional power sources. For example, a sign lit with fluorescent 7,320 watts over a twelve-hour period. A traditional neon glass sign uses 4,800 watts over the same timeframe. An LED neon light utilizes 1,800 watts. LED lighting requires less than half the power of other popular options. Not only is this good for the environment, it is good for your bottom line, too.
Use long lasting materials. Our quality signs are built to last. Durability reduces the need excessive replacement.
