Sustainability - The Carbon Companies

We are dedicated to taking advantage of every opportunity to incorporate environmentally sensitive operating and construction processes.

Carbon is mindful of its material consumption and implements recycling programs in its corporate office, on construction sites, and for residents. We’ve also converted to digital delivery of plans and specs for most of our projects, saving large quantities of paper. For many years, we have been mindful of rising energy costs and build units with cost effective measures intended to reduce energy consumption for tenants and operators.

Our projects are built with the following eco-friendly features:

Low-VOC paints, sealants, and glues to improve air quality.
Low-flow plumbing fixtures to conserve water usage.
Programmable thermostats to increase overall energy efficiency.
Additional insulation and Low-E windows to minimize utility costs.
Separate facilities for trash and recycling.
Professionally designed native landscaping to reduce water consumption.
Energy Star rated appliances and energy efficient lighting.
Flooring with The Carpet and Rug Institute’s Green Label Plus certification.
Locally sourced materials
