our commitment
Guided by the premise that "green woodwork" is a comprehensive and dynamic process, C.S. Humphrey is continually striving to reduce its environmental footprint and energy consumption. Our recent relocation to a new facility offered us an opportunity to reduce energy usage and improve efficiency through a variety of measures.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
centralized location |
|
| C.S. Humphrey is located in the central United States with convenient access to I-70 and I-35 leading to reduced shipping costs and resulting in fewer emissions. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
low-energy lighting |
|
| We have installed T-5 and T-8 lights to reduce energy consumption and allow greater attention to detail. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
large energy efficient fans |
|
| Our installation of two 24-foot fans with high efficiency motors allows us to cool our shop without A/C and also reduces heating costs by up to 34%. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
grind waste to reduce landfill space |
|
| C.S. Humphrey grinds down board stock to reduce the volume of waste we deliver to the landfill. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
dust collector air return system |
|
| Reduces the dust in the plant and returns warmed air during the winter which lowers the amount of energy needed to heat the plant. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
dust collector fire suppression system |
|
| Our state of the art fire suppression system reduces the risk of fire and protects our employees, equipment, and your products. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
use low-voc finish and properly dispose of byproducts |
|
| Our standard low-voc finish reduces off-gasses and results in ultra low formaldehyde emissions. Additionally, we responsibly handle and dispose of the byproducts through an outside vendor. |

| |
 |
installed Greenguard certified floor in office |
|
| C.S. Humphrey has installed Greenguard Certified vinyl flooring in our office reducing formaldehyde off-gas and improving indoor air quality. |

|
| |
 |
installed automatic thermostats in office |
|
| Programmable thermostats reduce the energy needed to heat and cool our offices. |
| |

 |
