The U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Green Building Council, along with the China Green Building Conference, have awarded the Shanghai Engine Center with Leadership on Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification. The joint venture of Pratt & Whitney and China Eastern Airlines becomes the first facility in China to receive the Platinum rating. U.S. Green Building Council CEO Rick Fedrizzi says that the Shanghai center “will serve as a leading example for other facilities within China when pursuing energy saving integration with operational efficiency.” More than 5,000 sites are LEED-certified throughout the world, while only five percent have achieved the Platinum rating.
