Columbia has achieved “Gold” Recognition, the highest level offered by Green Lease Leaders, for its strong commitment to high performance and sustainability in buildings and best practice leasing. To receive this recognition, Columbia qualified for credits in energy efficiency and sustainability best practices such as utility data tracking and sharing, cost recovery for capital improvements, and sustainability training.
