Trades

Lane's trades recently moved from a work order system that used 3 part NCR paper to a paperless system saving a significant amount of paper.  Other highlights of sustainable practices by Lane's trades include:

• Zero and low VOC paints used by painters.  VOC stands for volatile organic chemical.  Paints with more VOCs put more pollution into the air that harms human health.
• Electrians are beginning to replace energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps with even more efficient LED lamps.
• Lane's carpenters make durable podiums and cabinetry.
