Our Commitment to SustainabilitY 

At Capitol Aluminum & Glass Corporation, we believe that responsible manufacturing and design are essential for building a better future. Our dedication to sustainability is woven into every aspect of our operations, from our efficient manufacturing processes to the high-performance products we create. We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and helping our clients achieve their green building goals.
 

Building a Greener Tomorrow, Today

We understand the growing importance of sustainable construction. That's why we design and manufacture architectural aluminum products that not only enhance the aesthetics and performance of buildings but also significantly contribute to environmental stewardship.
 

How Capitol Products Support Sustainable Design & LEED Certification

Our systems are engineered to help projects achieve points across various Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) categories:

  • Energy & Atmosphere (EA): Our advanced thermal storefronts, curtain walls, high-performance windows, sunshades, and light shelves are designed to optimize building energy performance by reducing heat transfer and maximizing daylighting. We also explore opportunities for photovoltaic integration into our systems for on-site renewable energy generation.
     
  • Materials & Resources (MR): We utilize aluminum extrusions with a significant percentage of recycled content (typically 44.2% recycled content, including pre-consumer and post-consumer materials). Our commitment to regional sourcing means many materials are processed and manufactured within a 500-mile radius for applicable projects.
     
  • Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ): Capitol's operable windows promote superior indoor air quality through natural ventilation. Our expansive storefronts, curtain walls, and window systems are designed to maximize daylight illumination and provide occupants with vital views to the outdoor environment, enhancing well-being and productivity.
