AVAILABLE NOW: Custom ADA Sign Design Guide

Green Dot Sign® has created a Custom ADA Sign Design Guide that walks interior designers and signage specifiers through key sign design decision points.

This highly anticipated, free Guide delivers the information needed to design beautiful architectural signage that meets ADA requirements and are better for our planet.

Custom ADA Sign Design

Signage is highly versatile, and the best designs often come from industry creatives. There is now the option to design custom, ADA-compliant signs made of wood and other natural materials.

To maximize custom wood ADA sign design efforts, consider wood species, flat and raised sign content, sign shapes and sizes and sign edge profiles.

These signage design considerations are detailed in the new Guide, and unique ideas including custom color painted signs and mixed materials signs are highlighted.

ADA Signage Requirements

In 2021 over half the sign packages submitted for quote to Green Dot Sign by AECO professionals did not meet federal requirements, as detailed in the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

Federally regulated signage provides the 7.5 million Americans that are legally blind or visually impaired equal access to public spaces across the U.S.

Together the just released Custom ADA Sign Design Guide and our other free ADA sign requirements resources can help your signs pass inspection.

Eco-Friendly Signage

Since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted in 1990, the sign industry has almost exclusively used fossil fuel derived plastics for ADA compliant signs. Signage contributes to the nearly 50% of the global CO2 emissions generated by the built environment according to Architecture 2030.

You help reduce that by choosing ADA signs made of natural materials. Using certified Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) wood and non-toxic inks in a patent-pending manufacturing technique, Green Dot Sign’s ADA signs are 99% biodegradable by weight and our main product line is backed by an International Living Future Institute (ILFI) Declare label.

How can Energy Audits inform your Net Zero Strategy?

Image
Many organisations are already in the habit of undertaking energy audits to highlight where energy and water efficiencies can be made, save on utility costs, and reduce carbon emissions. Unfortunately, the sad reality of many energy audits and surveys (especially ones that are completed for compliance with ESOS), is that once they are completed, the report is often tucked away into a ‘virtual’ drawer, never to be seen again. But what if there was another use for that forgotten energy audit? Did you know that it could actually be a really useful business tool to help get you started on your net zero journey? To help you harness that data in a practical way, Energy Services Analyst, Rhiannon Farquhar explains what makes energy audits so essential to carbon management and how they can be used to get your business on the path to net zero. So, what are energy audits? To put it simply, an energy audit is an assessment of the energy needs and efficiency of a building (or process), which

Garden Offices | The Ultimate Work from Home Solution for 2021

Image
The Pros and Cons of Working from Home Working from home was not so long ago considered a perk of the job, however, the much-longed-for 30-second commute, for many of us, has finally become a realisation. Prior to the global pandemic, we would have spent 492 days of our lives commuting to and from work and inevitably, Covid-19 has brought about a catalyst of change. Businesses are now seeing the benefits of reducing costs by giving up office spaces, and with commuting now significantly reduced, one of the biggest winners out of this situation is the environment. With this in mind, there’s no doubt that the “new normal” of home working is, quite clearly, here to stay. The general consensus is that working from home is wholly positive and can provide a better work-life balance. Whilst this is true, there is evidence to suggest that this can be quite the opposite, with staff working later than usual as they battle to “switch-off” when their working day is over. So, what’s the solutio

Forgiveness Plan Would Remove One-Third of Students’ Loan Debt

Image
About one in three Idahoans who have federal student-loan debt would see it erased entirely if the Biden administration goes forward with a $10,000 forgiveness plan. That’s according to analysis from the website Student Loan Hero . President Joe Biden is considering eliminating the debt through executive order. Andrew Pentis, a senior writer and certified student loan counselor at Student Loan Hero, said the average monthly loan repayment in Idaho is $274. “Whether you have more or less than $10,000 worth of student loans left to repay, this dose of forgiveness would be hugely helpful, in either getting rid of your debt or shrinking it considerably,” said Pentis. “So certainly, if you’re a borrower in Idaho, you’d be rooting for something like this to happen.” The Trump administration paused federal student loan repayments in March 2020 during the pandemic. Biden extended the pause on his first day in office through at least October 1. Some Democrats want the Biden administration
