Going green, we love it! Kudos to Founding Farmers who will become the first Certified restaurant in the District and the first LEED (*Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold full-service, upscale-casual restaurant in the U.S. Good stuff Founding Farmers;-) LEED is the USGBC's (*U.S. Green Building Council) rating system for designing and constructing the world's greenest, most energy efficient, high performing buildings and interior spaces. LEED based their decision on Founding Farmers having a number of green design and construction features that positively impact the project and the community including having: Energy Star Appliances, higher efficient HVAC System and Green Power, just to name a few.
