PITT OHIO, a leader in transportation and logistics services, announced today their East Windsor, NJ terminal has been awarded LEED® Certified. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is the foremost program for buildings, homes and communities that are designed, constructed, maintained and operated for improved environmental and human health performance.

PITT OHIO’s East Windsor terminal, an existing building, achieved LEED certification for implementing practical and measurable strategies and solutions aimed at achieving high performance in: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

- The 1,094 ground mounted solar panels generates most of the facility’s electric demands throughout the year. There are multiple months where the solar panel array is able to generate excess energy that is re-distributed back to the grid.

- The building is equipped with low-flow plumbing fixtures in the bathroom facilities, reducing the amount of water consumed by the property by more than when compared to standard fixtures.

- The building replaced the lighting in the loading dock area with LED light fixtures, reducing energy consumption of the terminal. LED light fixtures also have a longer lifespan that reduces the overall waste the facility produces.

The East Windsor terminal is PITT OHIO’s 4^th facility to achieve LEED status.  The company’s Pittsburgh terminal and mechanic shop which are both LEED Gold and the mechanic shop in Cincinnati achieved Certified status.
