Finding Greener Ways

For more than 30 years ASI has been dedicated to finding and implementing green manufacturing processes and technologies to produce green signage solutions for our clients and new practices and technologies that continue to reduce waste and streamline our processes.

Responsible Manufacturing & Production

We have high expectations of all of our manufacturers – internal and external – and expect them to adhere to eco-friendly processes and continually improve methods when possible. Each of our manufacturing facilities takes extra steps to ensure the least impact possible on the environment through the use of eco-friendly materials and processes.

Protecting the Environment

It is a goal in today’s time to use materials and processes that are less harmful to our environment.

Green Signage Strategies

As the demand for green building practices increase, the need for proven green products and services will grow dramatically. As companies continue to reach new goals, implement better practices and learn from historical data, we will all benefit through access to more eco-friendly materials, practices and overall reduced costs to implement greener solutions.

Here are a few questions we commonly hear from the marketplace:

What are Considerations for Green Signage Strategies?

There are several considerations when evaluating architectural signage solutions to assist in making an impact. We have outlined the high level points that should guide the overall signage design and program implementation.

- Cost
- Material Selection
- Signage Design
- Manufacturing Processes
- Longevity

Contact ASI to discuss these topics in more detail to assist in the implementation of a green signage solution. We can discuss options and strategies in more detail – such as the benefits of solar for exterior applications, use of LEDs, modular strategies for interior signage and share our knowledge on these strategies as it relates to a specific segment such as healthcare signage.

Can Green Signage Earn a LEED® Point?

This is a question that many in the industry debate and a variety of answers circulate. In many cases, signage is a small portion of the overall construction budget so it may have a limited ability to actually contribute to LEED^® points through product application. Signage however should be evaluated on a case by case basis to determine its ability to contribute to LEED^® points.

Signage can contribute to a LEED^® point related to green education. Contact ASI for more information on this credit.

Green Education for Architectural Signage Industry

Helping Educate the Industry About Green

Because education is essential to any sustainable initiative, ASI continuously trains our organization on the various aspects of green signage, green buildings, and green building trends – from a basic introduction to green materials and practices to the more complex understanding of LEED^® certification.

ASI together with SEGD (Society for Experiential Graphic Designers), developed the SEGD Green Paper 2007, the first document that outlines and defines green standards for signage.

Green Education

ASI developed the course Green: Strategies for Signage and Green: Introduction to Solar Signage for external audiences. This is the first course that explains the sustainable aspects of signage and the role signage plays in green building certification. Participants receive 1 AIA credit in Health, Safety & Welfare and the class applies toward their sustainable design learning requirements.
