The High Companies Sustainability Statement
High Real Estate Group's holistic approach to sustainability is reflected in The High Companies Sustainability Statement. This commitment is shared by each of the High® companies.
LEED and Energy Expertise
At High, our teams of LEED®-accredited (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) professionals and Green Advantage® program-certified professionals assist clients in creating energy-efficient and environmentally friendly projects. In fact, Greenfield Architects and High Construction Company teamed to deliver a Silver LEED Certified project — the first of its kind in Lancaster County, Pa. In addition, High's Energy Solutions Group provides a comprehensive array of services to analyze, design, and implement facility improvements that enhance your bottom line and reduce your carbon footprint.
Energy-Reducing Facility Standards
Construction standards for our commercial and multifamily residential properties include progressive, environmentally friendly specifications. A few examples of the new specifications include ENERGY STAR-rated equipment, systems, and appliances; energy-efficient lighting; motion sensors on lighting & plumbing fixtures; low-VOC paints/sealants/adhesives; and carpeting made from recycled materials.
Employee Engagement
Our ECO Task Force — a grassroots extension of the High organization's Earth Day celebration — includes members from each of the High companies in order to promote environmental stewardship throughout our organization. The objective of the task force is to encourage the three "Rs" — Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
Environmental Stewardship
Our Greenfield Corporate Center is the first property of its kind in Lancaster County, PA, that is home to a riparian buffer — a naturalized landscape feature helps filter runoff, contributing to improved health of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. And, we are pleased to share that PPL Electric Utilities named High Associates to their Energy-Smart Business Honor Roll for its successful efforts in significantly reducing energy consumption at its facilities.
