Plano, Texas – JCPenney has broken ground on a Fairview, Texas store that it has registered for and expects to obtain the eco-friendly LEED certification.
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, part of the rating system administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, awarded for design and construction using environmentally sound planning, recycled materials, and infrastructure that conserves water and energy use.
The new site is also one of two JCPenney locations also to be certified under the “Designed to Earn the Energy Star” program, which monitors the energy use of completed buildings.
“JCPenney is committed to pursuing environmental initiatives in ways that make sense for the company,” said Michael Dastugue, senior vice president and director of property development.
