\"\"<\/a>Located in the Buckhead submarket of Atlanta at 3575 Piedmont Road NE, Piedmont Center North Buildings 1-4 and 15 have earned LEED certification under the USGBC\u2019s Existing Buildings: Operation and Maintenance standard, according to the property manager Cushman & Wakefield\u2019s recent announcement.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Green Building Council awarded Building 15 with LEED Silver certification, and Buildings 1-4 have been LEED Certified. The owner, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. entrusted C&W and engineering consultant Servidyne with the project. The sustainability practices implemented by the teams include a variety of energy- and water-efficiency, waste-reduction, green-cleaning and pest-management measures. Water efficiency efforts are expected to reduce consumption by 1.4 million gallons every year.<\/p>\n

The improvements contributing to the LEED certifications of all five buildings include the implementation of eco-friendly landscaping and integrated pest management, installation of low-flow water restrictors on all faucets, and non-sewer water meters for irrigation. Sewage system expenses are eliminated while water irrigation costs are lowered by two-thirds.<\/p>\n

Additionally, lighting in the 344,546-square-foot Building 15 and in the elevator cabs are changed to LED fixtures. The smoking area is relocated to an area more suitable for both smoking and non-smoking tenants. Ventilation systems in Buildings 1-4, which total 530,772-square feet, are modified, and the buildings are equipped with water-efficient 0.5 gallon and 1.25 gallon bathroom fixtures at a cost of $105,000. The expenditure is expected to return the investment in less than three years without passing any costs to tenants.<\/p>\n
