Achievements
LEED CS v2009 Platinum Certification
Floor and wall fixtures were constructed using sustainable and re-used
construction materials, while custom light fixtures illuminated the store at loads
50% below ASHRAE standards—a new benchmark for retail. Indoor air quality,
low VOC finishes, a high efficiency air handler and custom LED light fixtures are among other sustainability features.
Sustainable initiatives throughout the project resulted in a LEED Platinum
Certification for the project, the first of its kind in New York State and only the
second in the country.
