Shaw Plant Gets LEED Gold Certification

Dalton, GA, Dec. 27, 2011 -- Shaw Industries said it has received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for Plant 95, an administrative facility on its corporate campus in Dalton.

Plant 95 is the first building in Dalton to achieve certification under the LEED Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance rating system, and the second Shaw facility to achieve LEED certification.

The 32,335 square foot facility was previously the first privately owned building in Dalton to achieve the US EPA Energy Star rating.

Shaw’s Patcraft brand achieved LEED Gold certification for its Chicago showroom in early 2010, and several other Shaw facilities are currently at some stage of the LEED certification process, including two additional facilities in Dalton and the Shaw Contract Group showroom in Shanghai.
