Holder Partners with Southface Consortium to Build Eco Office
Holder has joined a construction industry consortium that will help the Southface Energy Institute, and Atlanta-based sustainability organization, construct a new addition to their office building called Eco Office.
The project will be a 10,000 sf office space and event facility. The building is targeted to pursue LEED Platinum certification, the highest level of certification possible. The building would be one of few Platinum projects in the country.
The Eco Office is intended to be a model for the industry by proving that the office building market can build sustainably. The idea is that sustainable building materials will be showcased in the building similar to what is already being done with Southface's current office on a residential level.
Southface's goal is to open prior to the 2005 US Green Building Council's national conference, which will be held in Atlanta.
Founded in 1978, the Southface Energy Institute is located in Midtown Atlanta and continues to promote sustainable homes, workplaces and communities by offering responsible solutions for environmental living. Visit www.southface.org for more information. |
