John Liptak, President & CEO OakWood
OakWood-PCL High Performance solutions use the most innovative products, materials and solutions in four, fast changing areas of commercial building construction:
Energy-efficiency for reducing your building’s energy costs and carbon footprint
Healthy environments for living and work
Technology enablement, including the Smart Building and intelligent building automation
Sustainable, green-building practices and environmental responsibility
Incorporating innovations from any or all areas will drive our customized Design & Build solution for your project—and defines what we mean by a “high-performance building.”
