WASHINGTON TERRACE, UT — Weber County's Pleasant Valley library has achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), according to WARN-TV.
The 38,000-square-foot building was built with recycled steel and has a price tag of $9 million, the story stated.
The building, which will officially open April 23, is designed to be more energy efficient than a comparable non-LEED building of its size by using renewable energy sources to generate at least 35 percent of its power, the story noted.
A unique sustainable aspect of the building is the preferred parking for alternative fuel vehicles and the charging stations for electric vehicles, the story added.
