LEED SILVER
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
We’re going for a Silver LEED rating. LEED-certified buildings enhance the health and wellness of residents and communities, and are resource-efficient: they use less water and energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save money.
At 550 Vanderbilt, natural and sustainable materials have been used wherever possible; finishes, paints, and fabrics meet low volatile organic compounds (VOC) standards and interior air quality is vastly improved through sophisticated air filtration systems. FSC-certified wood, natural stone, and sustainable materials reduce the building’s impact on the environment. These principles are carried through to the building’s exterior as well, through significant planted space, which will reduce the urban heat island effect and encourage storm-water retention.
