INVER GROVE HEIGHTS
Our Green Facility
All Seasons Preschool and Inver Glen Senior Living share a green building, constructed by Southview Senior Living.
This LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified design and construction reflects our commitment to the health of the environment, including the well-being of the children and adults in our community. Through careful adherence to the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) LEED guidelines, the design and construction teams have worked to reduce waste and pollution, save energy, provide a healthier and more comfortable interior environment, reduce long-term operating costs, and encourage users and visitors to do the same.
Our team used a variety of strategies to earn LEED points.
Leaving the building site in a natural state to encourage growth of native flora and fauna.
Choosing carpets, padding, paints, and adhesives with minimal toxic material content
Channeling storm water into ponds where it will filter back into the soil, instead of running off the site into erosion-producing gullies
Using only “green” cleaning products for routine cleaning
Using appliances and light fixtures that are Energy Star-rated
