CBI ground breaking
The Cognitive Behavioral Institute New Office Building broke ground Tuesday May27th, goal to achieve LEED Platinum Certification
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico. May 27, 2008 - The Cognitive Behavioral Institute of Albuquerque (CBI) is a 6,914 square foot office building in Sandia Heights of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This project has a goal of attaining LEED** Platinum certification, and reducing its energy use by +50% compared to a typical office building. These high project goals go beyond eligibility for tax credits, including the Sustainable Building Tax Credit of New Mexico, but truly speak to current global resource, energy, and climate issues.
If certification is achieved on schedule, CBI will be the first privately funded building in New Mexico to be awarded LEED Platinum status.
Environmental Dynamics, Inc., the general contractor, Isis Development, and CBI have worked closely through design and bidding phases to create a project that functions efficiently, is environmentally conscious, and challenges the building industry to reach for higher levels of design and construction.
