Ultimate Recycling Project Groundbreaking

With a live coverage on South Florida Live, the day of the Groundbreaking for the ultimate recycling project, The Greening of Chamber South had a perfect start.

The South Miami Green Building movement gets a serious push with the exciting LEED EB O&M project. Even though it is not the largest LEED Existing Building project in South Florida, it is certain to have the largest impact on the community.
Readily visible for all Chamber South members as well as all other interested parties, the project will openly display progress and data to show the improvements to the building and operations.
The efficient lights are already installed, swapping aT-12 for a simple retrofit T-5 from Garper, bound to save approximately 30% of the lighting energy consumption.
PGT has generously donated the new impact and Low E windows and doors. The installation is in progress today. Feel free to stop by and have a look.

We are looking forward to a well attend groundbreaking, even though no dirt will be shuffled. Instead, look for a creative twist on the standard shuffle and throw.

The ceremony will begin at 4 pm and Keynote Speaker Katy Sorenson is confirmed for the event.

See you there.
