EPA Region 7 has achieved Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification at the Platinum level under the Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance standard for its Regional Office facility in Lenexa, Kan. The Platinum level is the highest LEED designation awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council.
In October 2012, EPA Region 7 moved its Regional Office from downtown Kansas City, Kan., to Lenexa, Kan. At that time, Region 7 received the LEED Gold certification under the New Building/Major Renovation Standard. The Platinum certification builds on the Gold certification.
“Achieving LEED Platinum certification demonstrates that EPA is a leader in green building operations,” said Acting Region 7 Administrator Mark Hague. “I’m proud of the work we have accomplished to set an example that other large facilities can follow.”
