Our aim is to drastically reduce environmental impact and, where possible, eliminate the use of dangerous chemicals. We are committed to searching for sustainable solutions in collaborations with environmental experts and organizations. Kiefer’s staff includes certified LEED AP professionals to aid in our ongoing initiatives to make a greener planet.

Greenguard

What is Greenguard?

The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute is an industry independent, not-for-profit organization that provides and implements voluntary third-party certification programs for products and buildings.

Leed

What is LEED?

LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system,  providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
