Frieze Harley Davidson in O’Fallon, Ill., just received word from the US Green Building Council that their dealership has been awarded LEED® Gold certification, making it the first dealership in the country to be LEED certified. Contributing to the Green Team that brought this 33,000-square-foot showroom and maintenance shop to fruition were the designers, Karasek Architects; Trumpet Builders, the general contractor; and Vertegy, the LEED consultant. Built of insulated concrete forms (ICFs) for a wall R-value of 40, the building is partially powered by a wind turbine and is sited within naturally landscaped grounds using native grasses, plants, and drought-tolerant shrubs and trees. Inside, the shop employs a radiant-heat floor system that runs on waste oil, while the display area features bamboo flooring, low emissions coatings, and a computer-controlled combination of lighting sources that include daylighting through showroom windows as well as more than 40 solar light tubes.
