TRITEC Building Company is proud to be a part of the Stafford Associates Project at 21 Bennetts Road. This Friday Stafford Associates will hold a steel raising ceremony at the site of the company’s new LEED-certified headquarters in Setauket.

TRITEC Building Company has been the Construction Manager from the beginning of the project coordinating the design, engineering and LEED professionals for the project. Some of the items that TRITEC and the design team have incorporated to make the project more environmentally friendly are listed below:

Preferred parking for hybrid vehicles & those carpooling – encourages use of these means of transportation which lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Rainwater collection for site irrigation – lowers the buildings demand for potable water. 20% + of site left as open space – help maintain habitat for natural ecosystem. Cut off light fixtures – maintains dark sky. Waterless urinals, dual flush toilets & low flow fixtures – lowers buildings demand for potable water. Implementation of Construction Waste Management Plan – encourages the reuse & recycling of Construction waste & keeps useable material from the landfill. Use of SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels) – tighter more efficient building envelope, lowers energy demand and associated pollution. Tighter building envelope and innovative building systems – approximate 30% less energy use & carbon footprint than typical building construction. Recycled content in building materials – reduces need for virgin materials & associated environmental costs. Local/regional content in building materials – supports local economy while reducing impact of transporting materials to the site. Low VOC materials – healthier indoor air for building occupants. CO2 monitoring – healthier indoor air for building occupants.
