As I have mentioned in previous blogs, Austin is a city with a green living vision. I am proud to announce that both the Dell Children's' Medical Center and The Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Lone Star Austin campus have been awarded high honors by the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Environmental Energy and Design (LEED) rating system.
Dell Chrildren's Medical Center was awarded the highly coveted platinum rating. The platinum rating is the highest award to be granted by the LEED rating system. The AMD - Lone Star campus located in Austin was awarded a gold rating, the second highest.
The platinum ratings make the Dell Children's Medical Center the greenest hospital in the world and the first hospital to be recognized for its design and implementation of green living standards. The gold award received by AMD - Lone Star Austin campus is makes it one of the greenest corporate centers in the world.
The LEED Green Building Rating System is the national and worldwide benchmark for environmentally friendly building standards which include design, construction and operation. LEED rates buildings on the materials which improve energy efficiency.
The Dell Children's Medical Center and the AMD - Lone Star Austin campus display not only their own commitment to sustainable living but to Austin 's vision of becoming a sustainable city.
