Harris Teeter has announced that three of its recent stores are officially being recognized as LEED®-certified projects by the U.S. Green Building Council and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute, according to a press release. Maryland and South Carolina host the three Harris Teeter locations that achieved LEED certification.
Harris Teeter’s Fair Hill Shopping Center location in Olney, Md. is LEED-certified, Harris Teeter’s McHenry Row Shopping Center location in Baltimore, Md. is LEED-certified to the Silver level, and Harris Teeter’s Rivertowne Place location in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. is LEED-certified. The company's Mt. Pleasant location achieved certification in June 2011.
Each location received LEED certification for its use of energy, lighting, water and material, as well as incorporating a variety of other sustainable initiatives. By using less energy and water, LEED certified buildings save money for families, businesses and taxpayers; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and contribute to a healthier environment.
