ENCORE is committed to LEED® certified development. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, provides standards for environmentally sustainable construction. By harnessing best practices in “green” construction and development to achieve this commitment, we are able to focus on increasing the efficiency of natural resource use — energy, water, and natural materials.

Through green development and construction standards, ENCORE’s green initiative efficiently uses energy, water, and other resources as well as reduces waste and environmental pollution. As an example, our development and building standards will effectively decrease storm water runoff and the heat island effect. ENCORE’s green initiative also nurtures the health of people who live and work on-site through improved indoor air quality.
