LEED Checklist
This SL Green building also received EPA EnergyStar certification.
Sited at the downtown Seaport, connected to the East River Greenway, 180 Maiden received 13/15 checks for Alternative commuting transportation (SSc4)
It also received 4/18 Optimize energy efficiency performance (EAc1)
I found this building interesting because when I walk out of the building I work at, I can walk to it in 5 minutes.
