The Goldtex apartments at 315 N. 12th St. have received
Philadelphia's first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold-level
certification for a residential high-rise, according to the building's
developer, Post Brothers.
The 13-story tower earned the LEED Gold status from the
U.S. Green Building Council for its energy efficiency and other environmentally
friendly features, Post Brothers said in a statement.
The design of the building, a former shoe factory, saves
an estimated 15 million pounds of CO2 a year - the equivalent of the emissions
from 1,200 motor vehicles - and runs entirely on wind-generated power, the
company said.
