LEED Platinum Achievement for New York’s DEC

March 18, 2011 No Comments

Thanks to Michael Wise from NYS Parks who notified of this great story!! There is finally a State agency in New York that GETS it and is totally gone green. It is New York State Parks. They tool their Taconic Regional Headquarters and made it go green that it was awarded Platinum-level LEED® certification by the U.S. Green Building Council and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI).
This was an old school building and once again is the first public building in New York to win LEED Platinum for new construction or major renovation projects. For the record this is the highest level of certification for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.
