Behringer Harvard wins LEED certification for Lawson Commons in Minnesota
Published: 13-Mar-2010
US-based Behringer Harvard announced that Lawson Commons, a 13-story office property in the portfolio of Behringer Harvard REIT I, has recently been awarded LEED Existing Buildings (EB): Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
LEED certification of Lawson Commons was based on a number of green design features and operational best practices that positively impact the property itself and the broader community. The sustainability programs implemented at Lawson Commons included a high-performance green cleaning program using sustainable cleaning products, green consumable materials and lighting products containing low mercury levels. These programs also helped Lawson Commons achieve the ENERGY STAR label with a score of 97 out of a possible 100 points.
The LEED certification efforts for Lawson Commons were supported by the property's architect, BWBR Architects; the managing and leasing agent, Frauenshuh Property and Asset Management; and the building's anchor tenant, Lawson Software.
Another Behringer Harvard property, Bank of America Plaza in Charlotte, has earned LEED EB O&M Gold certification. In addition, Three Eldridge in Houston, Texas has earned LEED Core and Shell Gold certification, and Westway One, also in Houston, has earned LEED Core and Shell Silver certification.
Thirty four properties owned by Behringer Harvard's investment programs have earned the ENERGY STAR label for prudent energy management strategies, representing 45% of the square footage available in Behringer Harvard's office properties.
The LEED Green Building Rating System is the national benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.
