A Multi-Family, Gold Certified LEED Project for Agricultural Worker Families in Pasco, WA
Tepeyac Haven is the first Gold Certified LEED for Homes multi-family project in the nation. A program of the US Green Building Council, LEED provides a series of standards for design and construction that, when satisfied, insure a reduction in a project’s “environmental footprint”. As a Gold Certified project, Tepeyac Haven incorporates a host of design and construction strategies that resulted in dramatic improvements in energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, indoor environmental quality, and material resource conservation. |
