Cochran is experienced in designing and installing environmentally sound electrical solutions, using the latest energy-efficient technologies and green building products. We are active members of the Cascadia Region Green Building Council and support the organization’s goals to promote the design, construction and operation of buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable, and healthy places to live and work. Our highly trained project managers and field staff are experts in identifying opportunities to reduce a building’s environmental impact and minimize operating costs through high-efficiency lighting, heating systems and related sustainable practices.
A LEED certification is an important goal for any project and Cochran is committed to ensuring that our customers achieve certification if desired. However, building a sustainable building with the greatest energy efficiency and smallest carbon footprint is often achieved outside of the approved LEED categories.
Cochran strives to help our customers develop a truly “green,” eco-friendly building. We do this by investigating alternatives to commonly used techniques and making smart decisions in our design and construction practices that will help make each building truly sustainable—not just compliant with LEED standards.
