Honda Certifies Five Green Buildings in U.S.
Honda certified five new green buildings under the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards this year as part of an effort to further reduce the environmental impact of Honda's operations and products in the U.S. One of these facilities - Honda's Data Center in Longmont, Colo. - is the first LEED Version 2.2 Silver certified data center in the country. Data centers are considered difficult to certify because of their large energy consumption. One green aspect of the Data Center is its highly reflective white Energy Star roof has been installed to reduce heat gain in the roof and therefore in the building. This further reduces the amount of air conditioning needed to cool the building, making it more energy efficient.
