Courthouse Exterior Night

LV COURTHOUSE ACHIEVED LEED SILVER!

Congratulations to the City of Las Vegas and everyone on the design and construction team for this accomplishment!

Some of the building’s sustainable features include:

  • Location next to the Bonneville Transit Center;
  • Electric vehicle charging and reduced parking footprint;
  • White roof to combat heat island effect;
  • Reduced landscaping water use and reduced indoor water use by 40 percent;
  • A 10-percent cost savings in energy use;
  • Recycling in offices; and
  • Use of healthy building materials

In addition, a solar power array is planned for the roof of the building.

The City issued a press release and GRN Vision, the sustainability consultant on the project, published a one-sheet about the strategy and top metrics if you are interested in learning more. Way to go team!
