Brookfield Properties – Washington, D.C.
The Brookfield Properties Corporation’s 1225 Connecticut Ave building in Washington, D.C. was awarded LEED Core & Shell (LEED-CS) Platinum certification earlier this week.
Energy efficiency upgrades made to the Connecticut Avenue property include low-emissive gas, a heat-recovery enthalpy wheel, a solar-reflective roof with an 8,000 square foot green roof segment, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Estimates show that these green upgrades will lead to a 23% reduction in energy use.
“Environmentally sensitive features were incorporated into both the base building and the interior fit-outs as the asset was being redeveloped. Ninety-two percent of the material from the existing building was used in the redevelopment process, preserving the embodied energy in the original construction of the property.“ Source: Brookfield Properties
Despite the turbulent state of the nation’s economy, the building is 100% leased.
