Honors Building Green - Melaver, Inc.

Honors

We are understandably proud of the many accomplishments which we have achieved as a company over the years and are honored by the recognition, a partial list of which is provided here. Having said that, we are well aware that the sustainability movement is in its infancy and that our accomplishments to date are baby steps toward much broader environmental and social needs and goals. As the preeminent and visionary architect Bob Berkebile noted, even if every building in the country were a LEED platinum building, we would still be degrading our environment, just at a slower pace. We have a long way to go.
