Sustainability
Our commitment to sustainable practices is a paramount pillar in our philosophy, deeply interwoven into the fabric of our organization. Usona makes ongoing efforts to champion these practices through thoughtful and efficient design and the implementation of sustainable technologies, such as:
- Unique infrastructure design that allows for minimum waste when updating the distribution of services such as ventilation and electricity.
- Mechanical shades to reduce cooling loads and solar glare.
- Geothermal heating and cooling that reduces carbon emissions and is more energy efficient than conventional cooling.
- Strong and durable materials that reduce maintenance and replacement needs, minimizing waste sent to landfills.
- And many other features that reduce our carbon footprint.
