Daniel Kopec Architects LLC has been recognized as a Sustainable Business by the New Jersey Small Business Development Center.
Small businesses across New Jersey are starting to save money, share their successes and inspire other businesses by implementing sustainable business best practices. Joining this list of small businesses, Daniel Kopec Architects LLC (DKA) located in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, became one of the first businesses in the state to be recognized as a New Jersey Sustainable Business.
In August of 2014, the New Jersey Small Business Development Centers (NJSBDC) launched the New Jersey Sustainable Business Registry. The registry is an Internet site where businesses that have implemented sustainable business practices can register their achievements and be recognized.
DKA achieved recognition through efficient energy usage within their office, maximized waste reduction and recycling efforts, and demonstrated a record of sustainable building principles implemented in their practice. Additionally, Daniel Kopec, principal of the firm, is also the site manager for a community garden in Glen Ridge whose produce is donated weekly to area food banks. The NJSBDC supports this added level of community involvement in recognition of the fact that sustainability encompasses more than energy efficiency - at its core it is an issue of humanity.
Engaging in ecologically sensitive design practices and improving the overall quality of our built environment are at the core of the mission of Daniel Kopec Architects LLC.
