Lansing-Headquartered Green Industry Certification Program Launches in the U.S.

The Society for Environmentally Responsible Facilities (SERF) is a new and innovative membership and certification organization designed to offer property owners the ability to highlight their commitment to environmental responsibility.

By receiving SERF certification, property owners and businesses can promote their eco-friendly facilities and economically responsible property management style. This creates awareness and guides individuals to properties and facilities that operate in a sustainable manner.

“We want to recognize those who exhibit practical environmental stewardship,” says Joe Maguire, president of SERF. “This program rewards the efforts of builders and property owners who practice environmentally sensible property management.”

Two buildings — the rehabilitated YMCA building at 119 North Washington Square and the eco-friendly lofts at 107-111 East Allegan — are receiving green industry recognition through SERF certifications this morning.
