HOLLAND, MI — The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification to the City Flats Hotel, according to Environmental Leader.
City Flats is the first hotel in the Midwest to be constructed to meet the stringent standards of LEED Gold certification, the story stated.
The hotel incorporated many sustainable elements, including using rapidly renewable resources like cotton and bamboo for indoor decor and using 30 percent less water than comparable hotels, the story noted.
Most of the items used for the hotel were shipped to Holland and assembled locally, the story added.
