Draper

As a United States manufacturer of quality products for the architectural market for over 100 years, Draper is committed to providing products for the sustainable design market. As members of our local, state, and national community and as members of the U.S. Green Building Council, our company and our employees are striving to become more environmentally conscious by continuously upgrading our facilities to be more energy efficient, and by introducing “reduce, reuse and recycle” programs. We will continue to upgrade and design new products with these goals in mind.

Draper, Inc. is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a coalition of building industry leaders working to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. The USGBC developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability in site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. Draper has 12 LEED®-Accredited Professionals on staff. More than half of our sales staff has received in-depth LEED® training. Draper is a founding member of the InfoComm AV Sustainability Task Force, working to create the Sustainable Technology Environments Performance (STEP℠) rating system. Active in 2011, this system is designed to determine the sustainable nature of an AV system.

Draper conducts training sessions for architects, designers, dealers and installers, designed to increase awareness of the proper specification and use of window shades, projection screens and related AV products, and how they integrate with sustainable building.
