UPS isn't the only freight company going greener these days. Business Wire reports that DHL moved their DHL Express and DHL Forwarding operations in Nashville, TN to a new LEED certified building in the city.
According to Yahoo Finance,
DHL, the world’s leading logistics company, today announced that its DHL Express and DHL Global Forwarding operations in Nashville relocated to share a LEED certified, environmentally efficient facility at Ameriplex at Elm Hill. The move to the 31,000 square foot space, effective Monday, April 25, 2011, supports DHL’s GoGreen Program which includes a quantified target to improve its carbon efficiency by 2020.
Nashville’s first LEED certified facility offers numerous environmentally efficient features, including interior lights on occupancy motion control, exterior solar powered lights, and more water efficient bathrooms. The building also includes a rainwater capture system for watering outside plants and a roof equipped with sun reflective materials to reduce cooling needs during warmer month.
In addition to DHL's new Nashville location being LEED certified, it's also strategically located near 2 of Nashville's 3 interstates, as well as one of its major local thoroughfares.
