County of Buncombe issued the following announcement on Jan. 31.
As part of Buncombe County’s ongoing effort to save money and lower its carbon footprint, we’re excited to officially announce LEED Certification for our new East Asheville Library. It’s Buncombe County’s first LEED-certified building in our facilities portfolio and an important part of our Strategic Plan 2025.
“LEED certification is a well-known and established third-party validation of environmentally responsible construction practices,” explains Sustainability Officer Jeremiah Leroy. “Buildings that meet or exceed LEED requirements cost less to maintain, produce less waste, and help the County in achieving its ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
