"Green" factory
[edit]Lansing Delta Township Assembly is a LEED gold-certified automobile plant.[3]
Environmental features of the factory include:
- a 45% reduction in non-manufacturing water use, saving over 4,000,000 US gallons (15,000 m3) of water a year;
- a roof drain system which catches rain water and diverts to cisterns stored above the factory's restrooms, which is then used to flush toilets;
- having 25% of the plant's construction materials composed of recycled materials;
- leaving 50% of the site undeveloped;
- a 20% reduction in energy used for lighting the plant by lowering overall lighting in areas such as aisles; and
- the elimination of ozone-depleting substances used in any of the building’s heating and cooling, refrigeration, and fire suppression systems.
The factory grounds also contain a 75-acre (30 ha) wildlife area managed by the factory's Wildlife Habitat Team, who also hosts wildlife educational events for local community groups and schools.
