Lee Company's Headquarters Earns Green Design Award

November 2, 2018
Lee Company's Headquarters Earns Green Design Award

The U.S. Green Building Council Tennessee held its annual IMPACT Conference on Oct. 11 in Nashville and presented Lee Company with a 2018 USGBC Tennessee Leadership Award for Innovative Design, New Construction for its Silver LEED status headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee.

Here are some of the building’s highlights:

  • Potable indoor water use reduction: 27 percent.
  • Potable exterior water use reduction: 100 percent as the project uses municipal supplied purple pipe water (recycled grey-water) for irrigation.
  • Energy reduction via cost savings: 36.6 percent due to the use of LED lighting and VRF for the HVAC system.
  • Construction waste diverted from landfill (by weight):  78.8 percent.
  • Recycled content in materials (by cost): 20.1 percent.
  • Regional materials (by cost): 27.9 percent regionally manufactured and raw materials regionally sourced.

The company also received other credits for the use of low-emitting materials for adhesives and sealants, paints and coatings, flooring products, composite wood products, plus a number of other innovation points, including 25 different permanently installed products that have Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) citing their cradle-to-gate life-cycle impact on the environment.
