Compiling data from the organization\u2019s official website, we\u2019ve found that the number of LEED Gold and Platinum-certified projects in Texas dropped from 99 in 2018 to 50 last year. Of those 50&nbsp; developments, 28 were office assets, followed by nine education, healthcare and multifamily properties (three each), as well as several other property types, including a data center, a community center and several single-family projects.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/green-building-beyond-environment-operational-savings\/\">Green Building: Beyond the Environment, Operational Savings<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Focusing further on the office segment, we sorted the highest-scoring projects to see what set them apart.

West Memorial Place II is essentially the second phase of the project. The development was awarded the certification just months after the the 39-story Bank of America Tower listed above. To achieve such a high score, the 14-story project features an exterior glass curtain wall that reduces heat gain while providing natural light in abundance, in addition to ample exterior views. Moreover, the asset is served by an integrated building monitoring system that combines information about the water and energy used by the tenants.<\/p>\n<p>Energy efficiency is improved through an energy recovery wheel that pre-cools the air before it goes through the building\u2019s mechanical systems, while daylight harvesting systems generate garage lighting and motion sensors help save energy. An innovative method to save energy is the demand control ventilation system which uses carbon dioxide sensors to monitor and regulate the amount of fresh air used depending on the occupancy level.<\/p>\n<p>Skanska kept ownership of the asset which includes tenants BP and IHI E&amp;C.
