From its inception, the Laserfiche headquarters project integrated sustainability and environmental practices into the construction and overall design. The site, located on a corner block of Long Beach Boulevard near the 405 freeway, was once the location of eight formerly active oil wells and widely considered undevelopable. A full remediation restored the soil and groundwater environment in preparation for construction.
Reinforcing sustainable practices beyond site remediation, Laserfiche selected low-carbon and chemically transparent building materials. During construction, Laserfiche achieved an 85% construction waste diversion rate, translating to 80 tons of CO2 saved from emissions — equivalent to an energy offset of 10 single family houses for a full year.
Design and construction of the global headquarters project followed principles of biophilic design. This practice focuses on incorporating elements of the natural world that contribute to human health, wellness, and productivity. The office optimizes energy efficiency and thermal comfort while maximizing daylight throughout, providing well-lit workspaces and access to outdoor areas, including communal patios.
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It is the most widely used green building rating system in the world and an international symbol of excellence.
“Achieving LEED certification is more than just implementing sustainable practices. It represents a commitment to making the world a better place and influencing others to do better,” said Peter Templeton, president and CEO, USGBC. “Given the extraordinary importance of climate protection and the central role buildings play in that effort, Laserfiche’s Global Headquarters is creating a path forward through their LEED certification.”
