The opening of the Project Green Institute in Ann Arbor, Michigan has just recently been announced. The J.S. Vig Construction website host a plethora of new green ideas and buildings from the company as well as interactive videos that explain the entire process step-by-step.
Southeast Michigan-based J.S. Vig Construction, a full-service general contractor and construction management company, announced the opening of the Project Green Institute in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
As green construction takes off as a major driver in the construction industry, the institute is offering interested parties access to education and services tied to best practices around energy efficiency, water efficiency and sustainable construction practices.
The institute will house multiple LEED accredited professionals offering evaluation and auditing of existing buildings and future projects, building retrofits and resources related to best practices including classroom training on the environmental and economic benefits.
Joseph Vig, CEO of J.S. Vig, said the company had already developed a program to guide building owners and operators through the green construction process.
“The Project Green Institute will complement this program by providing an environment where professionals can see and touch the many different elements of green construction and receive expert consultation before making a serious financial decision,” he said.
Contractors involved in green building projects and retrofits may find themselves having to make planning around the extra steps involved in disposing of construction waste to abide by green practices.
For example, contractors may need additional roll-off dumpsters in order to separate waste by recyclable and non-recyclable materials.
