Kohl's has announced it is opening 18 new stores this spring including one in Wake Forest on April 1st which are built to a design that is LEED pre-certified at the Silver level.
The store's green attributes include recycled and locally obtained building materials; high-efficiency heating and cooling systems; occupancy sensor lighting for stockrooms, break rooms and offices; water-conserving plumbing fixtures and a recycling program for cardboard boxes, hangers and packaging.
I mentioned Kohl's back in Oct 07 in an item "Retailers Flocking toward Green" and it's a trend I see accelerating across the country. It's great that NC is getting some of that.
I also notice Kohl's flaunting their green credentials with a new site www.kohlsgreenscene.com.
