DUBLIN, Ohio — IGS Energy, one of the largest residential retail natural gas suppliers in the United States, announced that its new Dublin headquarters has earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification, the highest level attainable. It is the largest commercial office building in the state to earn Platinum under LEED-NC™ (New Construction) and the only project to achieve any Platinum certification in central Ohio.

The headquarters building, located at 6100 Emerald Parkway in Dublin, Ohio, was built to meet strict criteria in six areas of sustainability, as set by the U.S. Green Building Council. At 104,500 square feet, it is the largest LEED NC Platinum office building project in the state and one of only four LEED NC Platinum-certified projects listed by the USGBC in Ohio. IGS Energy earned 52 credits to achieve this award, including 10 out of 10 for energy efficiency.

As an energy company we wanted to focus on making responsible energy choices,” saidScott White, president of IGS Energy. “We were able to design our headquarters to consume about half the energy of a comparable facility, which was a great opportunity to demonstrate just how much impact the user can have in managing their energy consumption.  We hope this will encourage others to become more engaged energy consumers.”
