Publisher’s Letter A Special Dream Home I was expecting to see another beautiful big home the day we were scheduled to photograph the Donnan’s for this issue. I must say that I have seen my share of beautiful homes over the years but this one really took my breath away. The thought that went into the planning, layout, and design was masterful. The creature comfort features are simply decadent, in the nicest of ways. And within all this massive space, the warmth and comfort and ease of movement from space to space is phenomenal. To say that it is a quality home is a gross understatement; the craftsmanship, attention to each little detail, and use of creativity is seen throughout. From the interesting use of tile, and unique approach to lighting, to planning concealed storage and beautiful functional office space, this “smart” home is absolutely incredible. Frankly I could move in today without changing a thing! Marcia and Jerry Donnan couldn’t have been more gracious. They opened their home to us and let us take a peak into their lives. Not only have they been a very successful business force in our region, but they are kind and caring philanthropists. Contributing to their community is so very important to them and we are honored to have them on our cover and their home as our featured home! This issue of Style the Building and Remodeling issue, is the first of four this year whose focus is on residential and commercial construction. Green building, certification, and energy efficiency are of keen interest in construction today. Read up on these topics as the industry continues to evolve using these methods in commercial and residential building. It seems that whenever people gather in a home, it is always around the kitchen. Pick up some beautiful ideas for your new home or remodel from our local craftsmen creating exquisite granite counters, sensational kitchens and luxury baths. Excitement is also brewing here at Style since we have announced that we will be publishing four more issues in 2007. Seeing the need and interest in health and healing topics, we are adding two issues called Northern Colorado Medical and Wellness. We will also add a Building and Remodeling issue. And of keen interest to me will be the addition of a Northern Colorado Christian Business Magazine and Directory. I am especially asking for support of this particular issue; I welcome ideas, topic suggestions, and ask for advertisers supporting this heartfelt issue. The year has gotten off to a busy start. After hearing Chuck McNeal at the The Group’s Annual Forecast, I am very optimistic that the outlook is good and the trend is up for our region. I am looking forward to those first daffodils and crocus; I am ready for spring...now! Warm wishes to everyone,

Gil Paben 2006 Remodeler of the Year
Mark J. Kessler 2006 Builder of the Year Each year the Home Builders Association of Northern Colorado (HBA) honors one of its members for outstanding service and dedication to the association during the immediate past year. The choice for 2006 Builder of the Year was an easy decision for the award committee. Mark J. Kessler has been in the building, remodeling and/or restoration business, in some form or fashion, for over 30 years. Kessler is president of Kessler Construction Co., Inc., a full service insurance restoration contractor, which specializes in fire, water, vehicular, hail and wind damage repairs and reconstruction, as well as full service remodeling. Kessler notes that finding his niche in the restoration business was actually accidental. “I had some rental property that had water damage. When I prepared a quote to repair it, it was within $5 of the insurance company’s.” Through the years this facet of the business has grown quickly. Since beginning business in 1990, they have completed an average of 175 projects per year in Northern Colorado. In speaking to Kessler about the building industry, one can hear how passionately he believes in value for dollars invested and in keeping costs low for everyone: builders, taxpayers, and property owners. Mark also has a deep concern that the true cost of government regulation is not always given by those who are regulating. It is to that cause that Kessler devotes volunteer time to both the Home Builders Association of Northern Colorado and the Colorado Association of Home Builders. At the state level, Kessler serves on the board of directors. As a state association board of directors, one of his responsibilities to the association’s approximately 4000 members is to monitor proposed state legislation affecting the building industry. He also serves as chairperson on the CAHB Workers Compensation Committee, trying to find ways to keep workers safer and reduce injuries thereby keeping overall costs down. Mark believes education is the key to a successful business and he holds several accreditations and certifications including: Certified Restorer (CR), Certified Graduate Remodelor (CGR), Certified Graduate Builder (CGB), a Graduate Master Builder (GMB), and a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS). He encourages his employees to take part in educational events, seminars and other training, which may improve their lives and dedication to their careers. He has achieved much over his career and continues to be excited to learn more every day about the industry he loves. He believes in giving back to the community through volunteering on various projects. Mark is very thankful to his customers for the opportunity to provide them honest and professional service. When Mark gets the opportunity to relax, you’ll find him fishing in his favorite spot or working in the yard. He enjoys traveling with Judy, his wife of 30 years, spending time with his son Mark, his daughter Jackie, and their four granddaughters. At his father’s delight, his son Mark has been working along side his dad at Kessler Construction for over ten years. Congratulations to Mark Kessler for being the 2006 HBA Builder of the Year!
“My Dad always said, ‘If you’re going to do something, do it right the first time.’” Gil Paben has certainly applied this lesson and, through 30 years as Aspen Construction’s co-owner and president, he has served as an example of truly getting it done right. Through his 42 total years as a custom home builder and remodeler, Paben has shown unwavering commitment to quality building. “There is nothing that I have built or worked on that I’m not proud of,” says Paben. Having worked as a custom home builder in northern Colorado since 1964, Paben has had many opportunities to demonstrate his craft. Now, driving around the communities he has helped to create, he can see many examples of his hard work. In fact, Paben is sometimes called on to remodel homes that he originally helped to build in the early 1970s. Always the professional, even as a young craftsman, Paben kept plans of his jobs and has been able to pull these from his files to reference as they plan new work – much to the pleasure of the current homeowners. Paben believes strongly in mentoring and educating those who are coming up after him, and has no qualms about sharing process documentation. As a member of the Home Builders Association of Northern Colorado (HBA) and chairman of their Education Committee he coaches young builders to be more professional, to utilize business plans and detailed schedules, these tools help avoid long delays, lead to happier customers and higher profits overall. Not only can you find him serving as a role model to those currently in the industry but he is also a member of the Advisory Committee to Centennial High School’s and Fossil Ridge High School’s carpentry programs. “I work with the teachers to make sure that the students learn the basics and have a good work ethic, which will help tremendously in applying for a job.” Because of his exemplary leadership, Paben has been selected as Remodeler of the Year for 2006 by the Home Builders Association of Northern Colorado, and deservedly so. “It’s humbling to be selected by your peers,” says Paben, “I’m most grateful. Our industry has lots of good hard-working people willing to help with projects. I feel that our HBA is a partnership that works well [with local government] to help keep home prices down and quality high.” The HBA Remodelers Council led the process in developing a nonprofit organization called Building the Future. It promotes volunteerism and charitable giving among builders through its handicapped ramp project. The charity fields calls from individuals who do not have the resources or the financial ability to build residential wheelchair ramps. They provide free labor and find sponsors to pay for ramp materials, thus enabling independence for those who may not have had it previously. Paving the way for those who will be building in the future, Gil Paben is a role model, a teacher, and a true leader in the industry. Congratulations to Gil Paben for being the 2006 HBA Remodeler of the Year!

"In a dealership t his spectacular; buying or servicing your car is a real pleasure," says Joe. "It's something we've all dreamed about for years.
Or picture yourself dropping your car for service, then boarding a 5-minute shuttle to the Promenade Shops at Centerra. See a movie. Sip a cappuccino. Have lunch. Go shopping.

Marcia and Jerry Donnan are partners in life and in business. Individually they each bring unique abilities to every endeavor they undertake, be it raising a family, growing a business, or building a home. The Donnan’s house is a concept solidified, with sweeping views unobstructed by neighboring structures or elements within the home itself. Carried by color and rooted in texture, the outdoors flow inside. Meadowland ambers beam from alabaster pendant lights in the dining room. The great room’s six chandeliers establish the combination of oiled bronze and golden light that carries throughout the house in dozens of fixtures large and small.

Meet the Donnan’s They originated Factual Data Corp. in 1985 with the idea that speed, accuracy and excellent customer service would carve them a place in mortgage credit reporting. The Donnans possess diverse experiences in financial services and credit-reporting management; they are not afraid to expect the same high caliber performance they set for themselves from others. Their team responded in kind. The success of Factual Data is founded upon technological innovation, its people and community support, which has allowed for growth and the acquisition of 60+ companies nationwide. Headquartered in the Centerra Business Park, Loveland, Colorado, Factual Data went public in 1998, sold in 2003, and now operates as Kroll Factual Data. Marcia cuts to the core of it, “We have been fortunate. We had a vision; the members of our team shared our vision and drove it forward.” The Donnans are now retired from Kroll Factual Data; while sons James, as president and Russ as chief information officer, propagate their father’s professional yet friendly atmosphere, which is evidenced by long term
employees and community involvement. KFD supports the community with ongoing philanthropy that supports the foundation of its success. On a more personal level, Marcia and Jerry formed the Donnan Charitable Foundation, Inc., which targets needs of disadvantaged children. Recently incorporated, Donnan LTD invests in start-up companies and real estate investments in the region. Marcia is active in Foothills Rotary, where she serves on the Board of Directors and the Community Service Committee. Jerry takes the management lead for the couple’s foundation and Donnan LTD. Jerry and Marcia have utilized their magnificent home to host fundraising events for Project Self Sufficiency (www.ps-s.org), Foothills Rotary Charitable Foundation (www.rotary5440.org/ fortcollinsfoothillsco/Foundation.htm), Timberline Church (www.timberlinechurch.org) and Team RAMstrong, a cooperative fundraising venture linking CSU (www.ramnation.com/fundraiser/ramstrong.html) and the Lance Armstrong Foundation (www.livestrongchallenge.org ).

Getting started Building a custom home starts with a vision to blend lifestyle, offices and residence into one unique unit. It requires a huge commitment of time and resources. The Donnan’s had a good start with a solid wish list of “what if’s” and a general concept. How did the myriad of diverse elements come together into such smooth synchronicity? The Donnan’s will tell you it was a combination of several factors. First, they had to find the right building site. Jay Stoner, President of Stoner Company and developer of The Hill believes choosing a custom home site has many components, including open space, access to private lake, exercise trails, privacy, and view. The Hill evolved into a place where homeowners feel like “every day at home is a vacation” through careful consideration of each site’s impact on neighboring homes’ view and open space. Marcia Donnan is pleased. “We have a sense of community here, but we are not on top of each other.” Another huge part of the equation is the imaginative skill and innovative attitude of our region’s finest craftsmen. They demonstrated an inimitable willingness to play off one another’s abilities and ideas and take something from sketched hypothesis to finished product. Jerry Donnan applauds these professionals, “We are amazed and in awe of the superb craftsmanship in all areas of the house. Their knowledge and abilities in the design and completion in their areas of specialty is just awesome.” Integral to this process was the masterful direction of builder Harry Poehlmann. Poehlmann points to the Donnan’s. “From start to finish, working with the Donnan’s was fun. Building a home starts with building a long term relationship with the family.” He notes it can take a year to design and over two years to build a custom home, so it is essential to think things through. “Men in particular, will research a car thoroughly before making a purchase, but put less effort into buying a house. The features people want in a home depend on the age of the homeowners, if their children are young or grown, and their appreciation for detail.” Even in the kitchen – it’s the view The kitchen is resplendent with the out of doors. Its most distinguishing feature? A spectacular view of the lake, totally unobstructed by culinary fixtures. Spacious, inviting and carefully appointed, two cooks can easily work without crowding. The house is designed with age-in-place forethought with accessibility and easy conversion in mind. All first floor thresholds are flat, two bathrooms are wheel-chair accessible, and an elevator facilitates movement between floors.

The plains of the Serengeti pulse through the gentlemen’s retreat, glowing golden light through one-of-a-kind stained glass doors and reflecting in the single piece, textured edge marble bar. A cozy sitting room replete with hearth overstuffed chairs adjoins his and hers closets that redefine “walk-in.” The bathrooms suit personal preferences in décor and style. The reclaimed oak flooring adds character both in design and its seasoned surface. Organic leaf patterns adorn deck railings and outdoor light fixtures. Decks of African mahogany, crafted with hidden joinings provide retreats that chase the sun or hide from it. A green house blooms year round in controlled temperatures, and even the garage detailing unites practicality and visual appeal. White wainscoting can be power-washed right along with the epoxy-gravel floor. Multi-level landscaping incorporates walls, plantings, and sculptured geese lifting off from a bubbling fountain by the front door. Around back an in-ground swimming pool enhances an outdoor entertainment area with comfortable seating and built-in grills. Comfortable refinement envelopes the Donnan’s residence, a house with its own personality of warmth and grace. It is at once their business center and their haven. A home that is uniquely their own.

COMMUNITY
Hometown, USA: Where the Past Meets the Future by Lynn Dean
Nestled on the west side of Greeley just off US 34 at 65th Avenue lies a gateway to the past- St. Michaels. The “hometown” character in this modern community is designed to compliment today’s lifestyles.
D
ave Calvin wanted to create a community unlike any other,” explains Linda Naticchioni, Calvin Enterprises Director of Operations. “So he came up with a unique concept.” It’s a concept that included a residential neighborhood designed around 5 miles of walking trails and plenty of open space. At the heart of his plan was a bustling commercial center housing businesses that cater to local residents. “Most towns in the Midwest had some kind of central town square,” explains Naticchioni. “We wanted to recreate that here. We think it’s a concept that will draw people from all parts of Colorado.” To capture the look for the Town Square, Calvin worked with Architect Roger Thorpe. “We wanted to create buildings that, architecturally, don’t look like a strip mall,” says Naticchioni. “Each building here has a different elevation and a different facade.” But Calvin wanted to capture more than just the look of a small town, he wanted to incorporate the feeling of one too. That meant the plan had to include places to eat and drink. In addition to a coffee shop and an ice cream parlor, St. Michaels includes two unique restaurants. Now open, Harvest is a modern country kitchen. “The food we’re doing is really comfortable and accessible,” says D.J. Nagle, co-owner and one of Harvest’s top chefs. “It’s food that reminds everybody of home. It’s Sunday dinner at Grandma’s only with a cosmopolitan touch.” “Our vision is to take all of the great comfort foods and bring them to today’s dining style, using modern cooking technology and adding new flavors,” agrees co-owner Mike Hood. The Hobnobber Tavern, an old-fashioned Irish Pub, will open soon. “We see the pub as a social gathering
26
place,” explains Hood. “Not a sports bar, but a place where neighborhood people can come and hang out.” Calvin also wanted to incorporate service oriented businesses into his Town Square. “I knew the developer and like his concept,” says Chuck Cooper, a certified financial planner and President of The Master’s Financial Group, one of the first businesses to sign on. “We knew that Dave would do things right.” Indeed Cooper liked the concept so well that he and his family built their home there, too. “By the time it’s finished, everything I want will be here. They’ve put together a good plan.” Dentist Corte McGuffey, D.D.S. also like the Town Square concept and established his practice, McGuffey Bear Tooth Dental, P.C., there. “We just felt that St. Michaels was just a bit different,” explains Dr. McGuffey. “We like the idea of being the ‘town’ dentist.” Of course, what’s a town center without a large meeting hall or gathering place? The St. Michaels event center features two large meeting rooms and it has already proven to be a popular choice among local brides. And for residents and members St. Michaels includes a pool. But what truly sets St. Michaels apart is this small town’s family-friendly atmosphere. The two-acre part in the center of the Town Square is lined with beautiful trees, and includes a bell tower old fashioned lamp posts, antique benches, stone seating and a band-shell amphitheater. The area hosts countless family and kids’ events and activities including an Irish Festival in April and a summer concert series. “If you haven’t been out here, come visit,” invites Cooper. You’ll be glad you did. Lynn Dean is a freelance writer living in Timnath

Making Green by Building Green by Jason Clarke
A
s development continues up and down the front range, numerous companies here in northern Colorado are beginning to see the benefits of going green. Starting with the design phase through the construction phase and continuing on throughout the entire life of the building, developers can see serious economic benefits from the added efficiency and decreased waste of environmentally sound development. It may seem at first glance that protecting the environment for future generations and protecting a companies’ bottom line are conflicting goals—but in reality the two go hand in hand. While the initial building costs are a bit higher for green buildings, the long-term benefits make green buildings a wise investment. “It will save you money down the road, no question about it,” says John Sinnett, Vice President of Sinnett Builders. “You may see a five percent increase in the initial costs for construction but then see a thirty percent decrease in the utility bills for that building.” He estimates that green buildings pay themselves off easily in ten years based on the savings on utility bills alone. Matt Brooksmith, a Sustainable Designer at The Neenan Company agrees. “Every client has a certain budget—what we bring to the table are options. A client may want to spend more up front when they realize that the increased costs will be paid off in seven to ten years. Most buildings are used much longer than that, which means that in the long run it actually saves money for the client.” Other benefits are more difficult to measure, yet are equally substantial. “How do you measure all of the benefits of green buildings?” asks Albert Hamill, Senior Manager at Heath Construction, builder of the green award-winning Harmony Library building. “It’s hard to analyze the mental and physical health of the workers or the quality of work that they do with increased indoor air qual-
28
The Neenan Company New Belgium Brewery ity, better day lighting, reduced toxins from carpets and so on.” He is quick to point out that a number of studies have demonstrated measurable benefits. “Studies show increased production and reduced absenteeism; one study even showed that school kids actually retain more information in green school buildings.” All of these benefits definitely add up. According to Kathy Collier, Coordinator of the Climate Wise program sponsored by the city of Fort Collins, partners have saved $4.3 million dollars in implementing projects under Climate Wise since the inception of the program in the year 2000. “Companies see both the environmental side and the economic side and are excited to participate,” she says. “They are learning innovative ways to save money and to help the environment. It’s our job to help companies achieve their goals by conducting assessments and making recommendations in order to help them prioritize.” Climate Wise is developing a network of experts from the business community who are working to share their experiences and their expertise, making it easier and easier for companies to build green. Hamill believes that this kind of networking is a key element of the green building movement. He says that the key is integration at all levels of the process, which takes some expertise and experience. “Does it require some work? Yes. But if designers get more experience then it can become standard,” says Hamill. “It’s still a relatively new concept and it requires integrated design—the architect, engineers, owners, and contractors must all work together. It may take a bit more time and money up front, but in the long run you get a great deal.” Dr. Ted Mioduski, owner of the Sundance Professional Centre in Loveland which is scheduled to be completed by Drahota Commercial in the spring of 2007, is counting on the benefits of building green. “It’s a win-win situation,”

he says. “Owners save, the community benefits, and I provide a cleaner environment for my staff and patients.” The building, which will be the new home of Mioduski’s Implant and General Dentistry of Northern Colorado, is planned to be certified “gold” under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system, which was developed to standardize green building development across the country. Hamill believes strongly that as builders gain experience, more and more of them will become part of the LEED program. “Right now few designers are LEED designers, but once you’ve done it once or twice it just becomes standard practice,” he says. “The minimum LEED requirements are fairly easy to get and provide good cost returns. The platinum level has the highest payback, but also requires the highest initial investment.”
Owners save, the community benefits, and I provide a cleaner environment for my staff and patients. Whatever level of certification a builder works toward, the efforts will pay off in the long run. “There are no studies out there that have shown that LEED is not cost effective,” says Hamill. Brooksmith, who points to the New Belgium Brewery in north Fort Collins as a prime example of an environmentally sound design, believes that green buildings can both save money and dramatically benefit the environment. “The energy savings can be significant, which reduces the amount of carbon in the atmosphere,” he says. “Carbon emissions are the largest contributors to climate change.” Collier agrees that reducing global warming is one of the key benefits of designing more efficient buildings. “Day lighting can reduce energy consumption which can decrease emissions from coal-fired power plants, and people sometimes forget that the treatment of water creates gas emissions also.” Green buildings can save water through the use of water-efficient fixtures and landscaping, adding yet another benefit to the long list of advantages of going green. “There are a ton of things that you can do,” says Sinnett. “Recycling materials, planning for pedestrian access, reducing water usage from landscaping and toilets, upgrading insulation, using natural lighting and heating—the whole industry is starting to move in that direction and they can already see it working financially.” So whether your goal is to see a healthier tomorrow or a healthier bottom line, the answer seems to be the same—build green.

Energy Efficient
Design
by Corey Radman
Daylight harvesting and solar shading sound like things you might head out to the garden in your Crocs and straw hat to make use of. Actually they are elegantly simple solutions to the one thing that all buildings, commercial or residential, can’t do without -- energy.
C
entennial Elementary School in Loveland has just completed construction and begun use of their nearly 28,000 square foot addition designed by architect, Jeffrey Krueger of Krueger Architects & Planners, Inc. and built by Alliance Construction Solutions, LLC. Krueger employed energy efficient design to create what the Department of Energy (DOE) terms, a “high performance school.” Alliance Construction Solutions, also firmly committed to environmentally conscious building, took extra care in every way to reduce and recycle on the job site. The beauty of the design all comes down to heating, cooling, and lighting. By finding ways to work with the sun’s energy instead of against it, Krueger has saved Centennial Elementary 33%35% on energy costs compared to other school buildings. Here are some of the strategies that were suggested by Krueger, approved by Thompson School District, and implemented by Alliance. Daylight Harvesting Krueger notes that “20% of a building’s energy costs are in the lights.” His building design orients the windows and walls southward along

better learners and teachers.” Solar Shades Ingeniously simple, the solar shades above the exterior windows are an example of a passive solar system that takes advantage of the seasonal changes in the sun’s path to precisely block or allow sunlight exactly when it is needed. The anodized aluminum sun shades are carefully cut and installed at precise dimensions and angles. In the summer when the sun is high in the sky and would overheat the rooms, they block light. In the winter, when the sun is lower on the horizon, the shades don’t interfere with the light’s passage into the room, which both heats and lights the space. Heating & Cooling Several components keep Centennial cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Thermal mass is maintained through use of concrete blocks. So, the more mass there is in the walls, the easier it is to maintain an even building temperature. Even at night when the furnaces are turned down the interior temperatures drop only 10º. Extra insulation in the roof and walls bring an R value of 30 for the roof and R10 for the walls. The extra investment in materials will pay off incrementally over time in savings on heating and cooling. Clearstories top the building as bright blue ornamental-looking peaks, but also pocket the rising hot air in the summer. Planning Equals Payback Krueger in concert with Thompson School District Energy Manager, Rob Stafford, developed the energy specifics for the building. Then Krueger created the plan, which he presented to the district’s board of directors. “It was a tough sell,” says Krueger, to educate the school district about these design strategies. “It took some explanation for them to believe the solutions were really this simple.” Passive solar systems like the clearstories and light shelves, solar shades on the windows, and reflective painted roofing material aren’t complicated nor that expensive. It sounds too easy and causes one to wonder why we don’t see more of this. Krueger explains, “Most architects have not made it their prime design focus since energy has been relatively cheap in the past twenty years.” However now with energy and building costs rising, one has to consider all factors more carefully. Bond Administrator for Thompson School District, Jay Earl, says, “We made a concentrated effort to get the best bang for the buck. We col-

laborated to maximize the resources during the design of the building. Over the long term, we expect excellent payback on these decisions. And I think we’ve already begun to see results.” True, says Krueger. “Building heating systems only turn on 7 to 8 times per day instead of 20.” And even during construction, without the benefit of the furnace, Alliance work crews had no need for supplemental heat because interior temperatures were 50º or greater – just from the solar gain. Careful Planning Leads to Flawless Execution Alliance Construction Solutions Assistant Project Manager, Tom Dini, was squarely on the same green-colored page with Krueger. “We made a concentrated effort to recycle as much as possible.” Their crews separated all the construction debris: block, brick, and drywall from lumber from trash. Overall, they were able to recycle an eye-popping 80% of all the debris, keeping a mountain of reusable and recyclable material out of the landfill. Alliance is firmly committed to building as environmentally conscientiously as possible. “We always try to purchase local products, which require less shipping, less trucking, and therefore, result in fewer CO2 emissions. It’s a small piece in the puzzle but it adds up in the big picture.” Most of the lumber, cinder, blocks, and brick for Centennial Elementary were purchased locally. About environmentally conscious design Dini says, “Little by little, we are seeing more and more of these strategies. Architects, engineers, and owners are becoming more aware of the green factor versus cost. There is a stigma is that ‘going green’ will cost you but there are many ways you can be greener without a big increase in cost. In long run over the life-span of the building, that will be recouped due to energy savings” Alliance encourages all their employees to keep conservation in mind as they work. The company even has a committee called the Green Team (of which, Dini is a member) that meets monthly to strategize about promoting new green trends. Dini, a Professional Engineer who is LEEP AP accredited, is proud to represent Alliance in their work in the community. Corey Radman is Assistant Editor at Style Media & Design, Inc.

It’s Good to be Green
by Court Klinck
Bob and Marilyn Stone, owners of Porter Industries, Inc. in Loveland, are big believers in protecting the environment. They believe that what’s good for the environment is good for the community and good for business as well. As they succinctly summarize, “It’s good to be green.”
F
ounded in 1967, Porter Industries is a leading commercial and residential cleaning service serving northern Colorado and southern Wyoming. The company also offers high-tech and bio-tech cleaning services as well as other specialized services for commercial, residential and industrial clients. As a Green Cleaning Consultant, Porter offers its clients a wide variety of services including: comprehensive strategies to help attain safe, healthy high-performing buildings; cleaning approaches, procedures, guidelines and best practices supported by effective training materials; environmentally friendly purchasing guidelines for selecting cleaning chemicals, paper and other items; initiatives encouraging occupant involvement in support of the overall environmental program; communication materials to educate key audiences about environmental efforts; and assistance in earning credits toward certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) under the LEED for Existing Building (LEED-EB) category. Porter Industries is eminently qualified to advise its clients on how to achieve LEED-EB certification; the company “walks the talk”- doing, in its own business, what they advise its clients to do. In 2006, Porter earned the LEED-EB Gold certification - one of the top energy and environmental design designations from the USGBC - for its headquarters building at 5202 Granite Street in Loveland. In receiving the LEED-ED certification, the company became the first for-profit, privately owned business in the eight-state Rocky Mountain region, the first building service contractor in the nation, and just the eighth U.S. building to receive the designation. Porter Industries’ energy-efficient headquarters building features perimeter offices, natural lighting, operable windows and handsfree washrooms. The company’s green business program includes
green cleaning methods, green purchasing, recycling and pest management. Underlining its importance to the company, Steve Hendrickson, Porter’s president and CEO, states, To better understand the significance of LEED certification, it’s useful to have more information about the USGBC and the LEED-EB designation itself. The USGBC has, as its core purpose, the transformation of how buildings and communities are designed, built and operated – thus improving the quality of life by enabling a socially and environmentally healthy, prosperous society. The USGBC is the United States’ foremost coalition of leaders from throughout the building industry, representing over 6,000 member organizations, working to ensure that buildings are environmentally
Our company mission is to provide a clean, safe, healthy environment, and LEED certification is one more way to demonstrate our commitment to both our customers and our employees. -CEO Steve Hendrickson responsible, profitable and healthy for the people who live or work in them. The USGBC develops various programs and services, forges strategic alliances with key industry, research and government entities. Through the collective power of its members, the USGBC is playing a major role in moving more and more builders and building owners to “build green.” The LEED-EB certification complements the LEED Green Building Rating System for new construction and major renovations. It is part of a suite of LEED assessment tools being developed by the USGBC to promote sustainable design, construction and operations practices in buildings throughout the United States. LEED-EB certification applies to existing buildings that are seeking LEED certification for the first time, as well as projects previously certified under LEED standards for new construction. LEED-EB

affords building owners and operators the opportunity to achieve their sustainable operations goals while, at the same time, reduce over the building’s entire life cycle, the impacts of their building on the environment and the health of the building’s occupants. The LEED-EB standard is a road map for delivering profitable, environmentally responsible, healthy, productive places to live and work. LEED-EB addresses whole-building cleaning and maintenance issues including chemical use, ongoing indoor air quality, energy efficiency, water efficiency, recycling programs, exterior maintenance programs, and systems upgrades to meet green building energy, water, interior air quality (IAQ), and lighting performance standards. Earning LEED-EB accreditation has been shown to increase building asset value, tenant satisfaction and retention, shareholder value and return on investment, net operating income (because of lower operating costs) and employee productivity and morale. With its LEED-EB accreditation, Porter Industries joins similarly certified organizations such as the California Environmental Protection Agency, the National Geographic Society, and JohnsonDiversey. The Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce, The Ashkin Group, the USGBC, the City of Loveland, the Colorado CleanTech and others have recognized Porter for its green approach to doing business. While the company is proud of its accomplishments to date, CEO Steve Hendrickson enthusiastically looks for more green achievements in the future. “Our journey to advance sustainable cleaning practices is just beginning.” Court Klinck is a freelance writer living in Greeley.

Nightlights December 1 First Presbyterian
The chilly night did not deter hundreds of the community as they came to the 9th annual Nightlights event. Music filled the air as performances by several individuals including the Centennial Children’s Chorus warmed the hearts of patrons, ending with the lighting of the one-of-a-kind 50’ tree with more than 10,000 lights. Hundreds of local businesses and individuals sponsored a strand of lights and helped to benefit Realities for Children and their programs serving the abused and neglected children in Larimer County.
