LEED gold for Hines building

Hines officials say its Bank of America Fifth Avenue Plaza in Seattle received LEED gold certification for existing buildings.

The 42-story tower also has an Energy Star rating of 100, which means it performs in the top 1 percent of commercial office buildings nationwide in terms of energy efficiency.

Hines said the 1.2 million-square-foot building is 55 percent more energy efficient and saves $1.33 in energy costs per square foot per year when compared to the national average.

Hines installed low-flow fixtures and whole building water metering; purchased low-mercury lamps; started recycling and green cleaning programs; installed workstation lighting controls; and launched Green Office for Tenants, which involves occupants in sustainability programs.
