Green, Sustainable, Organic (GSO)
Created and advocated by: Loren Griswold, Account Manager
Kurt Heitmeyer, Construction Project Manager
Jacob Voit, Sustainability Manager
Summary -
Environmental strategies were implemented in several 2006-2007 Cagwin & Dorward construction projects. Green, Sustainable, Organic (GSO) opportunities were identified and integrated as part
of the construction department’s installation process.
Creating and advocating construction's GSO practices were largely driven from awareness generated by Peak Oil & Global Warming discussions at Stillwater 2006 and individual passions for the environmental movement.
GSO practices and strategies are either offered as a value added product & service or offered at no cost where it is identified that implementing such efficiencies will contribute to our profitability. These projects are some of our strongest financial performers.
Guidelines & Criteria -
GSO practice guidelines & criteria are influenced by:
Sample Project Specific Strategies -
Industrial/Office Building @ Hamilton Landing, Novato CA
Residence, Oakland CA
Residence, Santa Rosa CA
Shopping Center @ Cal Trans Row
Looking Forward -
Our current successes in GSO practices are a solid first step in a larger strategy to be a more dynamic and leading organization regarding the environment. Education and advocacy regarding sound environmentally centered strategies will strengthen our company’s position to meet and excel in an uncertain future. Shared learning by all parts of the organization of these experiences will further enhance the Cagwin & Dorward brand as a leader in GSO practices.
