The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™ is the national benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance sustainable buildings. Flatirons Bank, Boulder County's only locally owned, locally managed community bank, earned LEED® for Commercial Interiors (CI) Gold certification. It is the first bank in Boulder County to earn the honor.
The Bank was also able to meet and exceed the City of Boulder requirements for higher Energy Efficiency (Ordinance 7620) only weeks after it went into effect in March of 2009.
The entire team worked to make this project possible including the Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, Interior Design, LEED Consultant, Owner and Contractor. The process would not have moved forward smoothly without the commitment of all parties right from the start.
The interior of the bank is a distinct mix of efficiency and design; from the recycled currency countertop to the dual-flushing toilets. It is a truly unique space and we believe there is a great deal to see and learn from the design and construction of it.
