Tremco Inc. Headquarters Achieves LEED Gold Certification

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) of Washington, D.C., has awarded Tremco Inc. of Beachwood, Ohio, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification for the makeover of the company's 40-year-old corporate headquarters, according to the company.

"We felt that to lead by example in the construction industry, it was our responsibility to convert our headquarters into a high-performance, energy-efficient building that required less water, embraced renewable energy sources and reduced operating costs substantially from prior levels," says Randy Korach, president. "We accomplished all of this in an expedited construction process that took only about six months."

Sustainable features in the building include sealants, gaskets, and Proglaze ETA (Engineered Transition Assembly) from Tremco Commercial Sealants & Waterproofing to ensure an airtight transition from walls to the new high-performance, double-pane, tinted windows.
