Office Depot Opens First LEED for Commercial Interiors Registered Retail Store
Office Depot has lead the way for green and LEED technology with the opening of the first LEED registered commercial interiors store. According to CSEMag.com, Office Depot expects the store to be certified a few months after opening. LEED CI is the U.S. Green Building Council's recognized system for certifying high performance green interiors that are healthy, productive places to work; are less costly to operate and maintain; and have a reduced environmental footprint.
Beginning with this store, all new and relocated North American Office Depot retail locations will receive LEED CI certification, including 14 stores planned for 2010.
What do you think about Office Depot's move to LEED CI certification? Will we see other retailers doing the same?
