Citigroup has earned LEED pre-certification for a green
interior design that can be applied across many bank branches.
Citi's is the first commercial interior design to earn LEED certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's Portfolio Program
for multiple retail locations. The Portfolio Program, currently in
pilot phase, focuses on integrating green building design and practices
across multiple retail locations.
New CitiFinancial branches in Austin, Texas, and Flint, Mich., and
the Citibank financial center in Warrington, Penn., are the first to be
certified in this pilot program. An additional 27 CitiFinancial and
Citibank branches were designed with the same features and are in the
process of pursuing LEED certification, according to Citi.
