Building Green & Sustainability
It’s about making a difference. People. Planet. Payback. Sustainability is one of Miron’s key drivers and is an integral part of our corporate culture. To demonstrate our commitment to environmental stewardship, we have launched corporate-wide sustainability initiatives that have been integrated into our business practices and construction operations, which are aimed at expanding our team’s knowledge and capabilities, sharing best practices with our partners, and extending sustainable leadership to our clients.
Our Building Green Mission
Our “Building Green” mission is to lead by example to demonstrate the benefits of the triple bottom line: people, planet and payback through education, corporate culture and practical construction solutions.
LEED and Green Projects
Our LEED project portfolio consists of Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum projects in higher education, K-12 education, commercial, government, food processing, manufacturing/industrial, biofuels, religious, non-profit, and retail markets, many of which are “firsts” to be certified by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI). We encourage you to tour any of our 60+ LEED projects to learn about the integrated sustainable strategies, features, systems, and equipment, or to inquire about the triple bottom line benefits that our clients are experiencing.

- Grants & Incentives: Once sustainable goals are established, our team can assist with the applicable grant and incentive process.
