LEEDing the way and practicing what we teach.

The Knoch Corporation is one of only a handful of contractors in Ohio that is a member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and employs LEED accredited staff. We are active in not only constructing LEED, but educating others about the long-term benefits of going green.

What is Green Building?
“Green building” is a term used to describe design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact on the environment and occupants due to construction. It is addressed in five areas: sustainable site planning; water efficiency; energy efficiency and renewable energy; conservation of material and resources; and safe indoor environmental quality.

What are the Benefits of Going Green?
Depending on your passion, LEED has benefits for everyone, from improved air and water quality to decreasing operation costs and increasing asset value and worker productivity

Our Experience with Green Building
Being a member of the USGBC and supporting green building practices for the last several years, The Knoch Corporation decided to go green with a new office renovation project. The renovation of this existing three-story building allows Knoch to apply for LEED’s silver certification for commercial interiors. This is the first private project of its kind in Ohio.
