Green Building Certification
Following certification best practices--e.g. the US
Green Building Council's LEED for Homes and Enterprise Green Communities as
well as Energy Star ratings--WinnDevelopment is leading by example. All
of WinnCompanies' acquisition rehabs and new developments embrace
sustainability principles and integrate the best solutions for each particular
development.
LEED For Homes: We are pleased to
announce that Castle Square has received LEED Platinum Certification as of
October 2012. This achievement is the highest available certification from the
US Green Building Council.
LEED, standing for Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design, was founded in 2000 by the U.S. Green Building Council
and provides building owners and operators with an internationally recognized
green building standard. For more information, please visit www.usgbc.org.
Deep Energy Retrofits
WinnDevelopment, along with the Castle Square Tenants
Organization, recently completed the nation's largest "deep energy
retrofit" (saving over 50% of the building's energy usage).
Through significant support from many partners,
including the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's Green Retrofit
Program and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, Castle Square has
utilized the most advanced building science to guide the renovation of a
500-unit affordable housing complex in one of Boston's premier
neighborhoods. For more information on Castle Square's deep energy
retrofit, please visit www.castledeepenergy.com.
