SUMMARY:
Sung Shan Citibank Branch is the 2nd of many Taiwan Citibank branches to achieve LEED certification using prototypical design and construction guidelines developed by Steven Leach. We were able to implement green strategies as they applied to the specific scope of work and project location. As a renovation project, it was crucial to make provisions for business to remain clean and open during operating hours. By maintaining a clean job site, with intensive renovations performed outside of business hours, Citibank was able to not only continue business as usual but also to reduce occupant exposure to dust and chemicals associated with construction renovations.
Environmental solutions applied to the bank branch result in reduced utility costs for the owner and a healthier interior environment for employees and visitors. The bank is designed to support Citi’s overall goals by providing a high quality working environment and a healthy, attractive space.
