Environments Plus: What We Do - Seismic Anchorage and Retrofitting Systems

Environments Plus Seismic Anchorage

This is another installment of what we do here at Environments Plus.

In earthquake prone Southern California, we are very sensitive to our work in seismic anchorage and retrofitting systems to better sustain an earth tremor event.

EPI can help bring your building up to current city and state building code requirements by cost-effectively retrofitting your existing systems.

Many changes have been made and continue to be made in seismic codes due to the lessons learned from recent earthquake experiences.

We carefully analyze our clients' existing sysems vis-a-vis the most current application code requirements and recommend for their approval the best retrofitting solutions available.

Some of the services that we offer are:

• Fire Alarm Systems

• T-bar ceiings and lights

• Bulk Medical Gas Systems

• Electrical Power Systems

• Communication Systems

• Window Safety Film

If you would like us to review your seismic needs and evaluate your building code requirements for earthquake safety, give us a call at Environments Plus - Your Office Furniture Solution.

Environments Plus: What We Do - Design Services

Today, I thought I would continue describing what we do at Environments Plus - We offer Design Services for our clients.

Environments Plus offers design and specification services. We have the expertise to provide strategic programming, development of space plans and translation of layout for product specification counts and installation drawings.

We use Autocad 2005 and GIZA for space planning development and design configurations. CAP Specifier, a furniture specification program is used for the creation of product counts, and bill of materials. All design is prepared in-house giving us the ability to meet customer needs in a timely fashion, including full size drawings.

And, we work along side architects to promote design with LEED in mind.

LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is redefining the way we think about the places where we live, work and learn. As an internationally recognized mark of excellence, LEED provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

With nearly 9 billion square feet of building space participating in the suite of rating systems and 1.6 million feet certifying per day around the world, LEED is transforming the way built environments are designed, constructed, and operated --- from individual buildings and homes, to entire neighborhoods and communities. Comprehensive and flexible, LEED works throughout a building's  life cycle.

I will have more on LEED and some samples of our work in future posts.

Remember, whether it is environmentally sensitive design or office relocations, Environments Plus is Your Office Furniture Solution.
