CH&E Construction - Green Building

CH&E Construction, a member of the U.S. Green Building Council since 2002, recently acted as Construction Manager for the renovation of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Cathedral in Harrisburg, PA. This project received a Silver rating and become the first church in the nation to achieve LEED certification.

As a member of the project team, CH&E was involved in planning and pricing for construction. As the builder, CH&E was particularly involved in Indoor Air Quality, Recycling, and Materials for this project.

In addition to meeting certification requirements, CH&E spent time discussing Green principals with St. Stephen's students who will inhabit the new building. CH&E also procured funding through the Sustainable Energy Fund to incorporate solar powered lighting for a project sign that highlighted the Green aspect of the building.

Through the association with the Fund, CH&E has also installed a wind generator and a photo-voltaic array in Hersheypark for a demonstration project that was, in part, funded by PA-DEP.
