LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) is a national standard for developing high-performance,
sustainable buildings. Based on well-founded scientific standards,
LEED emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies for site development,
water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor
environmental quality.
Pembroke North is the first multi-family residential
building to be registered for LEED-certification in the Philadelphia
area. The three buildings have heating and cooling systems that
employ heat pumps connected to extensive underground thermal pipe
systems for tremendous energy efficiency. Living in harmony with
the earth and reducing individual carbon footprints does not mean
sacrificing comfort or control – Pembroke North is proof
of a new energy paradigm that is responsible as well as luxurious.
