NEW BERLIN, USA: M&I Bank has announced that the New Berlin office, which opened one year ago, has earned LEED-NC (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – New Construction) certification at the Silver Level by the US Green Building Council (USGBC).
"We were anticipating certification, and we were very pleased when the USGBC announced it as LEED Silver," said David Drake, vice president, operations support, and leader of M&I's MiPlanet corporate steering committee. "Certification at this level is recognition of meeting an even higher standard, and it reflects M&I's commitment to sustainability."
Some of the unique energy-efficient elements at the New Berlin office include a geothermal heating and cooling system, LED light fixtures, automatically controlled time relays, solar lighting tubes, and a rain garden system.
