The measures include specific ways to reduce remodeling and paper waste, recycle or reuse materials, conserve energy and water, and prevent pollution both at the job site and in the office.

After the application and checklist were completed and reviewed, a Bay Area Green Business Program representative and a team of technical experts were sent to both the Plath & Co office and a job site to assess the levels of sustainability and ensure that all measures were met.
