MSHDA Is First State Government Agency in Michigan to Earn LEED Certification
Project to Gain Certification Came in Under Budget and On Time
LANSING, Mich. — Scott Woosley, executive director of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), announced MSHDA has been awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). MSHDA is the first state of Michigan agency to achieve LEED status for its Lansing office. It’s a 105,500-square-foot, four-story rented building that on any given day has about 270 employees.
“This achievement shows our commitment to the goal of building a healthy, sustainable future,” Woosley said. “The relatively small, incremental changes we have implemented have resulted in big benefits, including a healthier and more energy efficient building, and long-term cost savings. We believe these are best practices that can and should be replicated on MSHDA-funded projects whenever possible.”
