Sunsail's Charting a Green Course!
Sailing is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to spend your time. But we all have an impact on the environment, and Sunsail continually strives for improvement through recycling, public awareness, and technology. Built with recycled and low-toxicity materials, Sunsail's new healthy headquarters was one of the first buildings in the Clearwater area to receive Gold level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council! LEED scores buildings for innovation, recycling, materials, community impact, energy efficiency and water use. Our building contains green features such as room lighting which turns off when not in use, tinted windows which maximize natural light block heat and workstations integrating recycled corn.
Wall coverings and flooring are low toxicity and made of highly recycled or post consumer content. Proximity to public transport, bike racks and on site showers also score LEED points, while fuel efficient cars benefit from priority parking.
