The new two-story, 24,860 SF Knauf Insulation Corporate Office building accommodates 44 new offices, a 126 seat public classroom named “Knauf Academy,” and a corporate fitness center.  The facility has been awarded LEED-NC Gold certification through the U.S. Green Building Council.  

 

The building will use 30% less energy and water than similar conventional buildings.  “Green” features include a white membrane roof, native plant landscaping, recycled water irrigation, and shaded parking.  The use of automatic office lighting, sun-shaded windows, and “daylight harvesting” of natural sunlight will reduce the need for electricity to light and cool the facility.
