Starbucks Aiming for LEED Certification
Friday, January 8, 2010
Starbucks second green initiative is to have all new, company owned locations LEED certified. What is LEED certification? It is an internationally recognized green building certification system, according to the US Green Building Council (USGBC).
The USGBC provides LEED certification in America, for both residential and commercial building. They basically look at several issues, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reductions, green building materials, indoor air quality, and energy savings, and then apply a rating based on the level of 'greenness.'
Again, not only will Starbucks benefit from this decision, as their energy costs will decrease dramatically, but the customers who breath the cleaner indoor air, the environment that is less impacted, and other businesses who will now have a model of a major company turning green.
