The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria.
Spacefile has demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles in each of the five environmental categories in LEED®
Sustainable Sites
Spacefile storage products reconfigure and reuse existing space and equipment, allowing effective redevelopment. Due to the modular floating floor design, the entire system can be broken down and reused in various configurations with no further impact to the floors or the building.
Energy and Atmosphere
High density storage reduces the floor space required for on-site storage by up to 85%, thus reducing building envelopes and energy usage.
Spacefile’s ThinLine products provide more storage per square foot than our competitors, making Spacefile the most efficient high density manufacturer.
Materials and Resources
Our steel has 42% recycled content.
Our steel and paint are locally manufactured.
All manufacturing, sales and marketing operations are located in Mississauga, Ontario.
Due to our basic materials and location, Spacefile’s products provide more LEED® credits than any other manufacturer for Ontario based projects.
