Credit Union is proud to announce that we recently
received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) certification for our newly remodeled Administrative
Offices located at 3033 Cleveland Avenue in Santa

Council’s Green Building Rating System, which

Executives and key business partners with our
LEED award. (L to R): Rob Cantu, Western Builders;
Brett Martinez, RCU President & CEO; Steve
Stapp, RCU EVP/CFO; Tony Battaglia, Archumana,
Inc. |
RCU
is the first commercial building in Santa Rosa to
achieve LEED green certification, and we have won
several additional awards for our innovative remodel,
which included recycling building materials; using
recycled building materials; water-efficient landscaping;
automatic stepped lighting; Energy- Star compliant
appliances; and water-efficient restroom facilities.
The restroom and landscaping choices are anticipated
to conserve 1.5 to 2 million gallons of water annually.
Our
LEED certification is just one facet of our commitment
to the environment. Additionally, we have employed
green practices in the building of our new Cloverdale
branch, we print many of our materials on recycled
paper and we support recycling programs. We will soon
be introducing a “Green
Center” on our website, detailing our commitment
as well as environmentally friendly tips.
