A Navy/Air Force dining facility at Fort Lee, Va., has received the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold certification from the Green Building Council for its green features and initiatives. This marks the first Army Corps of Engineers, Norfolk District-managed construction project to attain a LEED Gold certification. To achieve LEED Gold, the building had to meet 39 criteria for energy savings or recycling during its construction. A major reason for this lofty achievement was that 95 percent of construction waste was recycled, including the parking lot that sat where the dining facility is today. Other green features incorporated into the facility include lights controlled by motion detectors that detect and activate when a room is occupied, as well as sink water, which is controlled in a similar fashion. Also, all dining facility appliances are Energy Star-rated. ( Army Photo/Albert Cruz) 100413 A 0000C 004 by norfolkdistrict
