In green-heavy Seattle, it takes a lot to really stand out for sustainable design efforts. The new Federal Center South Building, developed by the General Services Administration for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has made headlines for its innovative use of environmentally friendly technologies. And now the Bullitt Foundation has cut out its own niche, with the first commercial building in the U.S. to receive Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Project Certification<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The certification recognizes the Bullitt Center\u2019s use of locally sourced wood from FSC-approved providers, according to The Puget Sound Business Journal<\/em>. Before winning the title, the building underwent extensive onsite audits of its core and shell by Soil Association Woodwork. Other major green fixtures in the building include an entirely renewable-energy solar power system, a rainwater reuse system and a design that employs a maximized amount of natural light, decreasing the need for electric lighting. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Built for $30 million near the corner of 15th<\/sup> and Madison, the six-story, 50,000-square-foot structure aimed at becoming \u201cthe greenest commercial building in the world,\u201d thus earning the project quite an amount of media coverage. This latest award seems to reinforce the developer\u2019s initial ambitions. Designed to house the Bullitt Foundation\u2019s six employees, the building\u2019s tenant roster will also include a number of earth-conscious entities, the business journal noted.<\/p>\n
