SAN ANTONIO (San Antonio Express-News) – As part of the Mission Verde initiative, the city has five projects in design to be San Antonio’s first LEED-certified city buildings.
The new LEED buildings will include the Parman Branch Library in Stone Oak, fire stations near The Dominion and the Toyota plant, the police and fire headquarters planned for the site of an old downtown Kmart and a new emergency call center at Brooks City-Base.
Each will be designed for silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.
The city is also conducting energy audits of 108 municipal buildings to determine which upgrades will have the biggest energy impact.
Mission Verde's goal is to have carbon-neutral homes by 2030.
