This change will affect the warehousing industry as more and more businesses become sustainability-focused. Adopting innovative practices is already helping Atlanta's warehouses join the sustainable technology and strategy bandwagon.

Energy Efficiency: Many buildings around Atlanta are using LED lighting and state-of-the-art HVAC systems to reduce energy consumption. The smart sensors in lighting use occupancy information to minimize waste.

Renewable energy: Today, many New York warehouses have invested in solar panels to use clean energy. This is great for the environment and keeps the bottom lines tighter.

Adopting recycled and sustainable building materials during warehouse construction and refurbishment will reduce the environmental impacts on its facilities while delivering durability and functionality. 

Waste Reduction: Tapping into Recycling programs and diversion strategies reduces landfill contributions. Logistics are getting smarter to minimize waste in warehouses through packaging.

Green Certifications Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, is completing the certification of commitment to sustainability. The same improves marketability to environmentally sensitive clients. 

Adopting these new technologies and practices, warehouse in Atlanta are creating a greener future for themselves, an example of excellence, and for buildings across the country, like New York. Sustainable warehousing creates considerable operational efficiencies and cost savings, in addition to environmental goals.
