Environmentally Conscious

AMPAM is environmentally conscious and committed to sustainable practices in the plumbing & mechanical contracting industry. We promote the importance of “green initiatives” and the impact they can have on buildings and the people who inhabit them.

 

As a company, we do our part to recycle and evaluate how we can reduce waste on a day-to-day basis. AMPAM deploys LEED-trained personnel that are tasked with promoting green building practices.

 

Research indicates that utilities represent the single largest controllable operating expense for larger buildings.

Decreased Costs

AMPAM can assist with “Green” projects, energy cost reduction and providing efficient plumbing design. Now more than ever, you need to successfully balance energy savings with occupant comfort.

 

AMPAM can assist you in developing an efficient system design as well as help you in lowering your energy and operating costs and increasing your ENERGY STAR rating.

 

BOMA (Building Owners & Managers Association) research shows that a building is more competitive, profitable and valuable when the environmental systems are built and maintained efficiently.
