What environmental improvements are being made? Will the developer or owner apply for LEED certification, and if so at what level?
JBG has already applied for the LEED Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) Pilot Program. It will incorporate many green strategies and will investigate the potential to apply for LEED certification for individual buildings. In addition, the opportunity exists on the multifamily buildings to incorporate green roof technologies. These green roofs would capture all of the environmental benefits (stormwater management, heat island reduction, added insulation, etc.) and also serve as a space to provide additional unique locations for additional open space.
