Silver – LEED for New Construction for Full Campus (2010)
In order to guide this industrial center campus to attain LEED certification, Amanda Tullos (GBS) gained an understanding of high-process loads and atypical working conditions, including incorporating natural ventilation in a hot, humid environment. The Vehicle Processing Center in Houston, Texas has a green-facility approach that includes six buildings: a four-building campus and two single facilities. The client rose to the challenge to create naturally ventilated vehicle work areas along with efficient office areas, and implemented successful operation strategies such as green housekeeping, integrated pest management, and the purchase of green power.
