Jefferson Green, D/P/S’s new office building, has set a new standard for sustainable design in New Mexico. It was the first LEED Gold commercial building and the largest, most energy efficient LEED building in the state at its opening. Jefferson Green uses 30% less water and 45% less energy than a typical office building, and provides a healthy, comfortable environment for employees. Sustainable features include an under-floor air distribution system, advanced glazing and shading, operable windows, energy efficient lighting, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and a variety of recycled, regional, and low-emitting materials. Jefferson Green achieved LEED Gold certification under LEED-CS in March 2007 and LEED-CI in June of 2007.
