Air quality both inside the units and outside the building are tested throughout the building process to ensure adherence to LEED specifications at all stages of development, including during maintenance and operation after the project’s completion. Regardless of the scale of the undertaking, these guidelines provide a strict framework to have the lowest impact possible on the surrounding community and environment.

In addition to environmental benefits, LEED requirements promise energy efficiency and air quality of the highest standard, using the latest in green technologies to bring down costs while increasing the workability and healthfulness of the space.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″ desktop_visibility=”yes”][/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ border_color=”color-nhtu” border_style=”inset” medium_width=”4″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ css_animation=”alpha-anim” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1/2″][vc_single_image media=”83584″ media_width_use_pixel=”yes” media_ratio=”three-four” advanced=”yes” media_overlay_opacity=”50″ media_text_anim=”no” media_padding=”2″ media_width_pixel=”650″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”5″ bottom_padding=”5″ back_color=”color-gyho” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”4″ column_width_percent=”100″ border_color=”color-uydo” shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ top_divider=”tilt” bottom_divider=”tilt” css=”.vc_custom_1552597393746{border-bottom-width: 1px !important;}”][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”4″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1/1″][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h1″ text_weight=”300″ sub_lead=”yes” css_animation=”alpha-anim”]Benefits | At a Glance[/vc_custom_heading][vc_separator sep_color=”color-nhtu” css_animation=”left-t-right”][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ equal_height=”yes” gutter_size=”3″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1552598064611{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ border_color=”color-gyho” border_style=”solid” medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ css_animation=”bottom-t-top” width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1552598208123{border-right-width: 1px !important;}”][vc_icon icon=”fa fa-construction” icon_color=”accent” size=”fa-3x” text_font=”font-175345″ text_weight=”400″ text_space=”fontspace-111509″ text_lead=”yes” title=”Expansion”][/vc_icon][vc_column_text]2.2+ million square feet is LEED certified daily.

With reduced energy and water usage, lower maintenance and operation costs, and increased exposure to employees and tenants who value sustainability, LEED guidelines are beneficial for the environment and your bottom line. Materials used in construction are locally sourced, the project is designed to have easy access to public transportation to reduce emissions from commuters, and the air quality in and around the project is increased because of the focus on clean technologies. LEED is the definitive guideline for developers in the modern age, and Panache prides ourselves on our adherence to the strict requirements of LEED certification.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″ desktop_visibility=”yes”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
