Green Building

Green building is transforming the construction industry by focusing on creating high-performance, energy-efficient, economical and environment-friendly buildings.
 

This initiative is our single greatest opportunity to take immediate, measurable action on critical issues like environmental sustainability, energy conservation, and climate change.  And audio visual solutions can play a huge role in ensuring the incorporation of green technology into the overall project.
 

Green AV in Green Building

One of the easiest ways to keep AV “Green” is to properly install equipment and make sure energy is not wasted. Consider this:

 

  • Buildings consume approximately 40% of the total energy and nearly 70% of the electricity produced in the US

  • Lights are the leading energy user in commercial buildings and schools.

    • According to the US Department of Energy lights can consume: 44% of all electricity or 29% of all energy used.

    • We waste energy by using more light then we need, lighting empty rooms, and not using sunlight.


Integration and power monitoring are key components to green AV in green buildings. At AVI Systems, we leverage our engineering staff to focus on designing the best audio visual solution for your green building project.
 

Energy Management

Our audio visual solutions provide significant energy savings by harvesting daylight and automating lights, drapes, thermostats, occupancy sensors and other conditions.


Develop and use new technologies to the fullest with intelligent system design and implementation to meet green building goals, open opportunities and reduce energy usage.
 

Life Cycle Assessment

AVI Systems will monitor and inventory your green AV solutions to make sure everything is working correctly with continued maintenance and replacement if an item is not working efficiently.
 

Materials

AVI Systems reviews each manufacturer’s process, use of recycled and low emitting materials, and emissions levels to make sure we are utilizing the best products and cleanest technologies for your system.
 

Bottom line: By integrating intelligent solutions, you increase your sustainable design efficiencies – effectively reducing your carbon footprint.
