FSC & LEED - Wood is green again!         

FSC is the mark of sustainable forestry. Period. They are they most comprehensive environmental forest certification system available. It is for this reason that AMSL: Architectural Millwork underwent an audit to become FSC Chain of Custody certified. This means that our mill can now produce products that bear the FSC logo with the promise that the wood used in the product is both environmentally and socially sustainable.

For more information about the Forest Stewardship Council http://www.fsc.org, the process of certification, and the values that they represent check out their website.

LEED is the most popular green building standard in the United States and for good reason. It is a quantifiable system that uses a combination of credits and prerequisites to define levels of greenness or environmentally friendliness for an entire building. Buildings that are built to these standards are healthier, use less energy and water, and tend to improve the land they occupy. Our estimators are familiar with the system and we have several LEED APs that are available to answer your questions relating to the certification system. http://www.usgbc.org/
