The 22- and 40-story towers feature 1.3 million rentable square feet and were completed in 1981.<\/p>\n<p>Among the numerous green features implemented at U.S. Bank Plaza are energy-efficient lighting with reduced mercury content, the use of low-flow plumbing fixtures and a comprehensive recycling and composting program. Hines is also offering its Green Office for Tenants program, which helps in giving tenants options to reduce their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cU.S. Bank Plaza achieving LEED Gold demonstrates our commitment to the environment, our tenants and the community. Energy savings, equipment efficiencies, water conservation and recycling programs directly benefit the tenants in terms of lower operating costs,\u201d said Hines Managing Director Bill Chopp.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from earning the LEED Gold certification, U.S. Bank Plaza has also earned the Energy Star label every year since 2001.
