Ada County, Idaho was recently awarded its first LEED-Gold certification
A recent redevelopment project moved the Assessor’s Office and Indigent Services Dept. into the Civic Plaza complex directly east of the Courthouse. This is the county’s sixth LEED certification for a commercial building project, and its first at the Gold level.
“Our commitment to sustainable construction results in significant taxpayer savings by building and operating functional, highly productive and energy efficient facilities,” says Ada County Board of Commissioners chairman Fred Tilman. “We adopted this commitment before the trend caught on in Idaho – our Courthouse facility was the first LEED-certified project in Idaho. We continue to prove it truly is cost-effective to build high-performance, environmentally responsible facilities.”
