CHICAGO— The global headquarters of LaSalle Investment Management at 333 W. Wacker Dr. in Chicago has earned LEED Commercial Interiors Gold Certification from the US Green Building Council for its office relocation project. The certification applies specifically to LaSalle's office space on the 23 ^rd floor. The LEED rating system was developed by the USGBC for buildings, homes and communities that are designed, constructed, maintained and operated for improved environmental and human health performance. “Achieving LEED CI Gold Certification for our Chicago headquarters accomplishes one of the goals we established when LaSalle decided to create a new and dynamic global headquarters,” says Jason Kern , chief executive officer, LaSalle Americas. “Sustainability of our business operations is a key focus for LaSalle, and LEED certification for our headquarters demonstrates our commitment to sustainable and energy efficient efforts. LaSalle achieved LEED certification by implementing practical and measurable strategies and solutions aimed at achieving high performance in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selections and indoor environmental quality. The LEED project team was led JLL, and company officials say the key design features and accomplishments that led to gold certification included:

• A 15% reduction in all energy consumption
• Nearly 100% of the lighting is LED fixtures coupled with advanced lighting controls to provide energy efficient daylighting and occupancy sensors
• Nearly 100% of equipment and appliances installed are Energy Star certified
• All new low-flow and flush plumbing fixtures installed
• More than 75% of on-site generated construction waste was diverted from landfill
• The entire office was painted with low emitting VOC paints and sealants to ensure optimal indoor air quality

L aSalle signed a lease to move into the now LEED-certified building in May 2015, where it occupies 27,000 square feet of office space.
