Green Building Construction


Tate's Building Technology Platform® can play a vital role in improving the sustainability of a building. Energy savings are realized through the use of a low pressure underfloor plenum which uses natural convection to cool only the occupied space. Underfloor service distribution reduces the amount of materials need to deliver key services to the location of the occupants, and promotes the continual reuse of materials throughout a buildings useful life. Meeting the market demands for green building construction with today's tight budgets makes comparing the benefits of green solutions more important than ever. No building strategy incorporates more green building benefits than Tate's underfloor service distribution.

This single strategy can increase day lighting, improve indoor air quality and promote the efficient use of energy and materials, making Tate the best solution on the market for achieving high- performance and sustainable, LEEDÂ® certified buildings.

Tate enables technologically advanced, intelligent design that promotes a healthier work environment, increased personal comfort and enhanced aesthetic value. Cost-effective green building construction offers lasting value that can adapt and evolve throughout the life of a building.
