Green Building

310 South Main, a LEED registered project, will be Hendersonville's first certified green building. To achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification with the U.S. Green Building Council, buildings must demonstrate superior performance in the areas of site selection, water conservation, energy efficiency, low impact materials, and indoor environmental quality. Green building is a win-win, enhancing our society's movement toward sustainability, while creating beautiful healthy places to live and work. Ken Gaylord, AIA, the architect-developer of 310 South Main, is a LEED-accredited design professional with the U.S. Green Building Council.
