DWG,
Inc. has fully embraced the US Green Building Council’s LEED program and
is fully committed to incorporating sustainable and energy efficient
solutions into all of our designs. We
have instilled this as a basic design philosophy. |
| Our staff is highly trained with specialized experience relating to
indoor air quality, steam, condensate, high temperature hot and chilled
water systems, thermal storage systems, energy management systems,
lighting efficacy, daylight harvesting and system efficiency. |
| To that
end, all of our designs have built in energy efficiency and sustainability
in mind. We boast a very high ratio of registered professional engineers,
and currently have 6 LEED Accredited Professionals on staff. It is our
goal to have all our technical staff LEED Accredited by the end of 2008. |
| Early on, DWG Inc. realized the importance of Sustainable Design and its
inherent energy savings, especially as it relates to the Mechanical,
Electrical and Plumbing systems. As such, DWG Inc. has made Sustainable
Design an integral part of its corporate mentality. |
| Our
early involvement in the LEED program has allowed us to evolve with the
program and gives us that much more experience in getting projects through
the approval process. Many can say that they have submitted projects for
LEED accreditation, but what sets us apart is that our projects are
accredited; we presently have US Green Building Council certificates for
LEED Accreditation on three projects. |

DWG was the Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing design consultant on Half-Moon Outfitters, which has been awarded Platinum Level by the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Program.
Half-Moon Outfitters is South Carolina's first LEED Platinum building and only the 25th in the nation to receive LEED Platinum status.
Further, it is understood that it was the first project in the United States to receive Platinum Level utilizing the newer and more stringent LEED NC 2.2 rating system. |
