Green BuildingOUC Launches Green Building Program

OUC is committed to the success and increased adoption of sustainable design and construction practices throughout the building industry. As part of our commitment to the communities we serve, OUC has launched a broad-based green program to promote sustainable development practices. The Green Building Program offers innovative products and services and financial incentives to help our customers achieve green building practices. These practices increase their bottom line while they are conserving resources and reducing their carbon footprint.
