ETI Headquarters Receives LEED Certification

EarthLinked Technologies recently received notice that its new manufacturing and office facility has been approved as a LEED Certified Project, sponsored by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program of the U.S. Green Building Council.

The LEED program is the nationally accepted benchmark in the U.S. for the design, construction and operation of high performance buildings that reduce demand upon natural resources and impact on the environment.

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the production of Energy Star® products to the design and operation of our manufacturing and office facilities. They were designed with LEED certification in mind.

EarthLinked® systems are the single most important feature of the building design to achieve LEED certification points. The facility also includes natural lighting, light pollution avoidance, water efficient landscaping with native plantings, water reclamation and conservation, stringent selection and recycling of construction and interior decoration materials, provision for energy efficient and low emission vehicles, LEED commissioning of the building and provisions for recycling metal and cardboard.

The building was designed by John Curtis, AIA, of SCMH Architects and constructed by Rodda Construction, both of Lakeland, Florida.
