Two State Government Buildings in California Receives LEED Green Certification
California Department of General Services (DGS) has declared to support its goals on energy efficiency and environment improvement of two of its buildings at Caltrans district headquarters that have achieved LEED certification granted by the U.S. Green Building Council.
The Caltrans District 7 construction located at 100 S. Main Street in the city of Los Angeles has achieved LEED Gold Certification from the Green Building Council while its Caltrans District 3 headquarters located at 300 B Street in Marysville has earned the LEED Silver certification. The certifications are issued for the green practices followed in the operations and maintenance of the two existing buildings.
Fred Klass, Director of DGS, stated that by achieving green certifications for the buildings, the government cuts down its own impact on ecology and installs improved state facilities to perform its work. He added that the DGS is in the process of implementing such initiatives in its operations and maintenance procedures of all its existing buildings to cut down energy and water usage and to improve energy efficiency.
