\n

The new version features more rigorous standards than the previous LEED Volume Program, which was established in 2014. Prologis was the first logistics real estate developer to participate in the earlier program, too.<\/p>\n

Under the LEED v4 for Core and Shell Volume Program, Prologis stated, it \u201cwill implement measurable strategies for achieving high performance in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality for its projects in the U.S., Latin America, Canada and Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a prepared statement, Prologis chief legal officer and ESG head Edward Nekritz said, \u201cThe Volume Program streamlines the certification process at a substantially lower cost than would be possible with individual building assessments. Since our initial participation in the 2014 program, we have saved $24 million when compared to the costs for non-Volume certification.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2020, Prologis set a goal that 100 percent of new developments and redevelopments will achieve sustainable building certification each year. As of the end of 2019, Prologis had 143 million square feet of sustainably certified space across 397 projects in 18 countries.<\/p>\n

A better way to be green <\/h2>\n

Greg Bauer, Prologis\u2019 senior vice president of construction \u2013 Americas, explained to Commercial Property Executive<\/em> that LEED volume certification was established by the U.S. Green Building Council as a way to streamline the LEED certification process by focusing on the similarities in building design, operations and delivery. \u201cIn short, it\u2019s a way to help participants certify more buildings more efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n

The LEED Volume Program was created in 2011, he continued, and uses a prototype-based approach to enable large-scale builders like Prologis to achieve consistency in green building improvements, while earning LEED certification faster and at a lower cost than would be possible with individual building reviews. Prologis is the first warehouse developer to participate in the LEED Volume Program.<\/p>\n

Bauer noted that Prologis\u2019 first project under this initiative will begin construction in the third quarter of this year, and that all new developments and redevelopments in the U.S. will be considered for LEED certification under this program.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
