LEED Certification

It is one of the first existing buildings to receive LEED certification. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System® is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings.

LEED for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) maximizes operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. It provides a recognized, performance-based benchmark for building owners and operators to measure operations, improvements and maintenance on a consistent scale. LEED-EB is a road map for delivering economically profitable, environmentally responsible, healthy, productive places to live and work.

The LEED Rating System for Existing Buildings addresses:

• whole-building cleaning and maintenance issues including chemical use
• ongoing indoor air quality
• energy efficiency
• water efficiency
• recycling programs and facilities
• exterior maintenance programs, and
• systems upgrades to meet green building energy, water, IAQ, and lighting performance standards
