\"Clarksville-MontgomeryMontgomery County, TN<\/strong> \u2013 On Tuesday, April 27th, 2021 the Clarksville-Montgomery County Green Certification Program held a green ribbon cutting to welcome J.

<\/p>\n

In early 2020, the office was averaging over 650 copies per month but by February of 2021, that number was down to under 100. Mr. Clark credits the reduction to a greater reliance on technology for sharing files with clients.<\/p>\n

By encouraging clients to have pdf copies rather than printed copies the office reduced paper waste and saved on printing costs.<\/p>\n

The office also recently added new LED lights, an upgrade that netted an immediate energy bill savings of almost $50,00 per month. The LEDs use an advanced technology that monitors the amount of sunlight being received in the room so they can dim accordingly which results in less energy used.<\/p>\n

In addition to the work Mr. Clark and his staff are doing within the office, they also work with clients during a projects\u2019 design phase by making recommendations that promote sustainability. Jon said, \u201cIt\u2019s nice to be able to add in new design features that reduce utility use and promote a better environment for the community\u201d.<\/p>\n
