FORT BRAGG, N.C. --This $2.6 million Community Emergency Services Station at Fort Bragg, N.C., is the first LEED Platinum facility of its type in the Army. LEED refers to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system, which involves the use of environmentally sustainable building and design practices. At 8,300 square-feet, the facility includes mechanisms that save 35 percent more energy than a typical building of its kind. Features include geothermal heat pumps, a solar hot water heating system, a rainwater collection system for washing fire engines and flushing toilets, use of local suppliers, and energy efficient fixtures and lighting. The project was completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District in March 2011 and received a LEED Platinum certification (the highest level) in 2012 from the Green Building Certification Institute.

Project Name: Logike,
Project Type: Restaurant earning LEED Platinum Certification,
Client: Chef Ferran Adriá,
Original Space: 319 Greenwich St, Tribeca, NYC
The design of Logike is based on the concept of deconstruction. By using the client’s cuisine for inspiration, as well as sustainable practices given by the LEED rating system, our restaurant offers experiences of both imagination and reality. It is designed to stimulate the human senses through food and the interior. Logike was able to achieve a LEED Platinum Certification.
Now-vanished brand of lemonade sold by Coke in the 1960's and 1970's..
One of my fonder childhood memories, it was stupidly replaced with the less-great tasting Sprite in the early 1980's.
This can dates from the late 1960's.
The Oregon Department of Transportation's headquarters building in Salem has received the LEED "Platinum" rating – the highest level – for being an environmentally-responsible and sustainable facility. The building, located on the Capitol Mall, was originally finished in 1951; few updates were made over the years, and in 2010, the building closed for a nearly two-year rehabilitation. The refurbished, historic facility re-opened in August 2012 – offering a healthier atmosphere for employees and visitors and a friendlier impact on the environment.

Stafford Associates, Dr. Eugene F. Stafford Building, is a Data Center and Office Building located on Long Island at 21 Bennetts Road in Setauket, New York. The facility incorporates many green features and anticipates a LEED Silver certification, LEED elements incorporated into the building include:
Preferred parking for hybrid vehicles & those carpooling – encourages use of these means of transportation which lowers greenhouse gas emissions
Rainwater collection for site irrigation – lowers the buildings demand for potable water
20% + of site left as open space – help maintain habitat for natural ecosystem
Cut off light fixtures – maintains dark sky
Waterless urinals, dual flush toilets & low flow fixtures – lowers buildings demand for potable water
Implementation of Construction Waste Management Plan – encourages the reuse & recycling of Construction waste & keeps useable material from the landfill
Use of SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels) – tighter more efficient building envelope, lowers energy demand and associated pollution
Tighter building envelope and innovative building systems – approximate 30% less energy use and carbon footprint than typical building construction
Recycled content in building materials – reduces need for virgin materials and associated environmental costs
Local/regional content in building materials – supports local economy while reducing impact of transporting materials to the site
Low VOC materials – healthier indoor air for building occupants
CO2 monitoring – healthier indoor air for building occupants
The building itself is 30,000 sq. ft. and has many house like qualities to give clients, tenants and employees the sense that they are working with a family owned business. The building is adorned with rich earth tones throughout which can be found in the black marble steps with orange veins to the mahogany in the Stafford lobby, the deep brown accented carpets and natural wall coverings. Craftsmanship and high technology are infused throughout the building from the hand crafted railings in the center atriums to the Tier 3 Data Center that boasts concurrently maintainable site infrastructure guaranteeing 99.982% availability.

FORT IRWIN, Calif. – In May 2011, the National Training Center’s newest constructed facility received the Green Building Certification Institutes Gold stamp of approval. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District held a plaque dedication ceremony for the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment’s new company Operations Facility here Sept. 28.
The COF is the second project to be certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council at Fort Irwin. Last January, the Child Development Center was certified as LEED Gold and was also the first CDC in the U.S. Army to achieve the prestigious rating.
Both projects achieved the certification with innovative construction practices. Interior building lighting, and mechanical equipment are energy efficient. The windows, walls and roof are well insulated to efficiently cool and heat the building with minimal energy consumption.
“This project was initially required to meet the Corps of Engineers’ sustainability in construction standard of LEED Silver certification,” said Maj. Kenneth Shubert, deputy engineer of the Los Angeles District’s Southern California Engineer Resident Office.
“Because of the teamwork with our project contractor, Joint Venture RQ Construction and Richard Brady and Associates, they were able to design the facility to meet the requirements to achieve the LEED Gold certification.”
“This Gold certification is just one example of taking care of our environment,” said George Rogers, CEO and president of RQ Construction. “We’re gonna’ come and go and we need to leave this place a better place, a cleaner place and a sustainable place.”
The $8.3 million, 22,000 square-foot facility broke ground in February 2010 providing needed jobs and an economic boost to the surrounding community. Designed in-house by RQ Construction, the project consists of two separate buildings, each comprised of an administrative module, readiness module(TA-50 storage lockers) and exterior covered hardstand with gated access. Organizational storage and organizational vehicle parking is included as well. It was completed within nine months and below the initial budget.
The project is expected to see more than a 26 percent reduction in energy cost and more than a 49 percent reduction in water use. Additionally, 95 percent of the construction waste was diverted from the landfill. These savings are factored based upon a baseline that the USGBC has recognized or adopted as a standard to measure against. These practices equate to savings to the fort, and ultimately the taxpayer.
The Corps recently completed a renovation of the Garrison Headquarters a project that is LEED Silver. Additionally, the Corps is renovating building 107 converting barracks into the post In/Out processing center. The combined cost for these projects is $9.2 million, which again equals to job growth and stimulation to the local economy.

All new construction in the Department of Defense must qualify for Silver certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standard.

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn (L) accepts one of the highest environmental designations in the world for both its headquarters buildings in Washington DC from President of the Green Building Certification Institute Peter Templeton (R). This presentation comes on the eve of the Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change. The IMF is the first international financial organization and the first United Nations affiliated organization to be awarded LEED Gold for Existing Buildings established by the U.S. Green Building Council.
During the award ceremony, Strauss-Kahn commented "In this spirit, international institutions like the IMF need to play their part in contributing to a solution."
