DLF’s Two Horizon Center, a landmark commercial project on the Golf Course Road has been awarded LEED Platinum certification by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC).

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED – INDIA) rating system is licensed under U.S. Green Building Council to inspire and facilitate the development of sustainable buildings. The overall ratings were based on 5 elements of environmental categories which have been laid down by LEED – INDIA and comprise sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy & atmosphere, materials & resources, and indoor environment quality

Commenting on this achievement, Mr. Aakash Ohri, Senior Executive Director, DLF5, said, “This certification is a motivation for us to continue our focus on sustainable energy consumption. We have demonstrated overall environment performance and undertaken some key initiatives towards sustainability like rain water harvesting, usage of 100% recycled water, state-of-the-art air filtration, plumbing and ventilation system which not only makes this project a marvel in terms of construction but also light years ahead of its time in sustainability.”
