Building for a Greener Future
Green buildings represent the next evolution in construction — designed to minimize environmental impact, reduce operating costs, and create healthier spaces for the people who use them.
At Capobianco, Inc., we are proud to be at the forefront of this movement, consistently meeting and exceeding the rigorous LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council.
First LEED Gold Certified School in New York State
As the general contractor for the new Tuttle Avenue Elementary School, Capobianco, Inc. is honored to have constructed this landmark achievement that highlights our dedication to sustainable design and innovative building practices.
Green Features & Innovation
The project integrated numerous green features, including geothermal wells, daylight-harvesting corridors, solar panels, and electronic light sensors—all thoughtfully incorporated into a state-of-the-art facility that harmonizes efficiency with architectural beauty. Every system was designed not only to reduce energy consumption but also to create an engaging, healthy environment for students and educators alike.

LEED Certification Standards
To meet LEED certification standards, our team implemented a comprehensive waste management plan, sourced FSC-certified wood products, and prioritized locally and regionally produced materials to reduce transportation emissions. We also tracked pre- and post-consumer recycled content with precision and ensured full compliance with VOC (volatile organic compound) restrictions, safeguarding indoor air quality.
At Capobianco, Inc., sustainability is not just a requirement—it's a responsibility. We take pride in setting a precedent for environmentally responsible construction and remain committed to advancing green building practices across all future projects. Our continued pursuit of excellence ensures that every structure we build stands as a model of innovation, stewardship, and long-term value.
