REI Store in Pittsburgh Gets LEED Silver Rating

Due to taking steps such as constructing their new Pittsburgh store with locally manufactured and high recycled content materials; promising to purchase wind power to power the store; using a minimum amount paints, carpet and other coatings that emit chemical fumes; and having a secure area where employees and customers can store their bicycles, REI has received the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Silver rating for commercial interiors. It's the second certification for an REI store.
