DISK Enterprises
has always used
the very best in materials, and has always promoted GREEN BUILDING.
GREEN BUILDING is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which
buildings use resources — energy, water, and materials — while reducing
building impacts on human health and the environment, through better
siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal — the
complete building life cycle.
These are some of the systems we use to promote Green Building:
HYDRO-STOP
Premium Coat System - Making your
roof cooler, and last longer! Barrier Guard System - This is designed for waterproofing all
types of masonry, such as foundation walls, concrete retaining walls,
basements and planters. FlexCoat System - This system stops cracking, which tends to
happen in masonry and stucco with its unique crack-bridging elastomeric
formula. ClearGuard Plus System - This is the choice for unpainted masonry
as it provides a clear, durable, and repellant barrier against oil and
water.

ENERGY STAR
This is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy
helping us all save money and protect the environment
through energy efficient products and practices.
Results are already adding
up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved
enough energy in 2006 alone to avoid greenhouse gas
emissions equivalent to those from 25 million cars — all
while saving $14 billion on their utility bills.
For the Home
Energy efficient choices
can save families about a third on their energy bill
with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions,
without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY
STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice.
-
If looking for new
household products, look for ones that have earned
the ENERGY STAR. They meet strict energy efficiency
guidelines set by the EPA and US Department of
Energy.
-
If looking for a new
home, look for one that has earned the ENERGY STAR.
-
If looking to make
larger improvements to your home, EPA offers tools
and resources to help you plan and undertake
projects to reduce your energy bills and improve
home comfort.
For Business
Because a strategic
approach to energy management can produce twice the
savings — for the bottom line and the environment — as
typical approaches, EPA’s ENERGY STAR partnership offers
a proven energy management strategy that helps in
measuring current energy performance, setting goals,
tracking savings, and rewarding improvements.
EPA provides an
innovative energy performance rating system which
businesses have already used for more than 30,000
buildings across the country. EPA also recognizes top
performing buildings with the ENERGY STAR.
NUCOR SYSTEMS

largest recycling company in the world, recognizes its

environment of the communities in which we operate and

families and our continued welfare. Protecting the
