LEEDv4 BD+C: Core and Shell
Castelnuovo di Porto DC2 reflects what’s possible when performance, resilience, and environmental responsibility are woven into a project from the outset. Designed to meet LEED v4 BD+C: Core and Shell, this 75,787 SF warehouse and 7,595 SF office development achieved a 55% energy use reduction and offsets 33% of annual energy demand through on-site solar, resulting in a 138,068 kg CO₂e operational carbon footprint reduction.
From restoring 29% of the site with native and adapted vegetation to equipping 50% of dock doors with plug-in receptacles to reduce diesel emissions, each strategy was intentionally aligned with a clear sustainability objective.
Notable LEED thresholds highlight the measurable intent behind the design: 79% outdoor water savings through native landscaping and drip irrigation, over 75% daylight penetration across regularly occupied spaces, verified Environmental Product Declarations across key materials, and 100% LED lighting to eliminate mercury risk.
