LEED Storage & Filing Solutions

LEED and Sustainable or Green Solutions are not new to Southwest Solutions Group. Since 1969 we’ve been delivering solutions that benefit the environment to those designing, constructing and operating buildings. At Southwest Solutions Group we believe that decreasing the amount of energy we consume starts with an efficient building design that reduces construction costs, as well as long term operating cost to maintain building space. Through implementation of space efficient storage and filing systems we have helped organizations reduce new building construction costs, eliminate the need for building expansions, reduce operating costs, as well as increase the productivity of employees.

We also believe that providing flexible, reusable casework and millwork solutions instead of traditional casework solutions, reduce air, water and land pollution, and limits the need for new natural resources, such as timber, petroleum, fibers, steel, and other materials.

LEED, SUSTAINABLE, GREEN STORAGE SOLUTIONS

Compared to traditional storage and filing methods, our space saving solutions can reduce storage and filing floor space requirements by 50% or more . For organizations experiencing a lack of available floor space, our storage and filing systems can double your storage or filing capacity in the same floor space area and often times eliminate the need to remodel or expand your facility. Our space saving storage and filing systems can also bring other benefits to organizations like increase morale, productivity, security, and improve customer service.

Below are a few projects where our Green Storage Solutions helped to reduce construction costs:

Storage equipment helped the highly acclaimed Seattle Central Library earn a Silver LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for incorporating design elements that demonstrate Environmental stewardship (click here to view).
Green storage solutions save 30,000 square feet and $6 million in construction costs for Central Michigan University’s Charles V. Park Library (click here to view) .

LEED, SUSTAINABLE, GREEN MILLWORK AND CASEWORK SOLUTIONS

Historically, casework and millwork is built into the walls of facilities offering organizations little to no flexibility to meet the changing needs of business. When organizations remodel or relocate traditional millwork and casework typically end up in our landfills. Modular casework and millwork is designed to have a built-in look, yet intelligently designed for easy relocation when remodeling or relocating. Modular casework and millwork’s intelligent design doesn’t stop with simple modularity, modular casework has thousands of accessories and options including numerous types of surfaces, sinks, and finishes to meet the needs of offices, laboratories, pharmacies, exam rooms, mailrooms, reception stations and many more applications. Finally, modular millwork and casework can be depreciated as furniture offering tax benefits to business owners.

MEASURING THE COST OF CHANGE

The cost of change to businesses involves more than just the hard construction costs. Businesses also need to think about the disruption to worker productivity. Disruptions to worker productivity like dust, noise, and security hamper the productivity and effect the efficiency of an organization. Since modular casework and millwork ships assembled dust, noise and security issues are greatly reduced, making your facility cleaner, quieter and more secure.

Some of the benefits of modular millwork and modular casework cabinets include:
