Trane’s new commercial office building in San Antonio has earned the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design™ (LEED) Silver certification for Commercial Interiors, being the fourth LEED certified building in San Antonio.

To achieve LEED Silver certification, in Trane’s new facility, one-third of total building materials used were recycled, and 7 percent include rapidly renewable materials. According to the company’s press release, compared to standard office buildings, this building uses 32 percent less water, mechanical systems consume nearly 50 percent less energy, and highly efficient lighting systems have 15 percent less power density, further reducing energy consumption.
