Abstract:

At Cherokee Investment Corp. in Raleigh, North Carolina, sustainable, green architecture is putting North Carolina on the map. The company's building is the first building in North Carolina to receive Platinum certification under the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design--LEED--rating system; one of only 61 in the world, and the first LEED-certified project in Raleigh. But with high performance and low cost, green and sustainable architecture is becoming accepted more and more in North Carolina.
