Eco Logic

In the service industry, a business' environment, comfort and safety levels are paramount to the client experience. That is why we are excited to announce that all Massage Green™ locations must be certified "green" by the US Green Building Council (USGBC).

The USGBC is a non-profit trade organization that promotes sustainability in how buildings are designed, built and operated. The USGBC is best known for the development of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system and Greenbuild, a green building conference that promotes the green building industry.

As of September 2008, USGBC has more than 17,000 member organizations from every sector of the building industry and works to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work.

Through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal, green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:

• Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
• Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
• Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation

Since most people are trying to maximize personal longevity, it made perfect sense for us to incorporate consumer health along with environmental health. We have partnered with "green certified" national vendors including Mohawk, Owens Corning and Sherwin Williams to ensure an even healthier massage experience for you and our staff.
