Fort Collins Utilities’ 222 Laporte Ave. Administration Building recently won the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Mountain West Region 2018 Colorado Green Building of the Year award.Constructed in 2016, 222 Laporte Ave. was the first building in Colorado and fourth in the world to receive the Platinum designation under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Version 4. In addition to being one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the state, more than 95 percent of the construction waste was diverted from landfills.
The building also earned an ENERGY STAR ® score of 100 for operations in 2017 and features a 104-kilowatt solar system that will have a battery installed in the fall.
Utilities and other 2018 award recipients will be honored May 3 at the Rocky Mountain Green Conference in Denver (http://rockymountaingreen.usgbc.org ).
