Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)

More environmental measures, less impact.

 Environmental and sustainable building practices are evolving rapidly. Falex was among the first to start thinking “green” and we insist on staying at the leading edge of sustainable construction practices.

Our approach includes a wealth of specific environmental protection measures during construction from spill avoidance and site cleanliness, to watershed protection and dust control in sensitive facilities like hospitals.

Falex continues to be at the forefront of environmental and sustainable construction practices. We are leaders in implementing LEED requirements, and initiatives from recycling and using renewable materials, to working to green building standards, to achieving energy efficiency and employing life-cycle costing that govern the management of all our projects.

Erosion and sediment control to minimize soil loss, prevent sedimentation of storm sewer systems, protect the freshwater quality, and reduce air pollution.

• Test and commission all building systems to verify proper installation, calibration, and performance.
• Recycle or reuse materials wherever possible.
• Prohibit smoking in enclosed spaces, including site trailers.
• Enforce Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) management strategies.

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING

Since 2002, Falex is proud to have built numerous LEED-Certified properties across Ontario and Quebec.

We understand the importance of sustainable building practices. We also know that ‘building green’ requires close collaboration between the design teams, the architects, the engineers, and the client with the common objective of reducing the overall impact of a build on the natural environment. Claritel wholly embraces this commitment to ‘green building’ by advocating for sustainable design and construction at every opportunity, encouraging clients to consider environmentally friendly building products and practices and helping them to become even more environmentally responsible.
