| LEED Platinum CSHQA Boise Office |
It's fair to say this was quite a process, but worth it! Last week the CSHQA Boise office achieved LEED Platinum certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). It was awarded 83 points, the highest number for an Idaho building under the 2009 version 3 criteria.
This achievement was only possible through a dedicated team effort.
CSHQA leadership had the foresight and determination to see it through design and certification. The design team of architects, engineers, landscape architects, interior designers and communications designers created, innovated and chased down every opportunity to build a better building. Jordan Wilcomb Construction was on board from pre-construction and materials specification through recycling and high quality construction. Rocky Mountain Companies, developer, put together a development package that is a win for all parties. Dozens of vendors and subs came through with good products and good work. SEED Idaho worked closely with our team to provide vital commissioning services to ensure we made the very most of our high performance design.
We learned a great deal from this experience, and plan to share our insights in future posts. Look for them on our new website (coming soon): www.cshqa.com/media and select CSHQA Blog category.
