In South Brunswick a new, unique, facility was just finished on Docks Corner Road. The 583,376 square foot warehouse distribution facility was designed "green" in order to save money and energy. "It’s a special building that’s just waiting for a tenant to move in,"said Jason Goldman, executive director of Cushman & Wakefield of New Jersey Inc. Features include a high-solar reflectance white roof system so it can generate solar energy, a lighting package which is 30 percent more efficient than standard lighting systems and potable water reduction of up to 40 percent. The company ensures that the building is 17 more percent energy efficient. The building is one of three facilities in the state which pursued the LEED certification. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Mr. Goldman says that it is not an ideal time, but nobody would have predicted this 24 months ago! I believe that this building could lead to many other contractors to design and build "green" buildings. If everyone has a building that is energy efficient then those people would save money and help the environment.
