Scope Of Work
In building new stores for Starbucks Coffee Company, KDC Construction incorpo-
rates the following practices (to name a few): 75% landfill diversion of extracted
materials such as returning trenched concrete to manufacturers for reuse and
recycling all cardboard and plastic material packaging. Indoor air quality
management plans insure the sites are mopped daily and vacuums are used on
sanding tools. KDC teams install low-flow fixtures, low voltage lighting, Energy
Star equipment, use formaldehyde/urea-free composite wood materials, and
source local reused and reclaimed timber for wood finishes. Low VOC (volatile
organic compound) chemicals and paints are applied, concrete is often stained in
lieu of new floor tile, and fiberglass-free wall systems are procured where
possible.
Starbucks has instituted measures from responsible building materials and
furnishings to energy and water-efficient systems into its store designs. KDC
Construction is proud to contribute to the Starbucks Coffee Company effort in
building stores in ways that reduce impact on the planet; experience that should
prove invaluable as the construction industry moves toward greener standards.
