-  Starting with an existing shell presented its share of challenges, as Hanesbrands set out to achieve Leadership in Energy Efficient Design certification (LEED), one of the highest levels of achievement designated by the USGBC.  The 9,986-square-foot office, which opened in August 2007…, features advanced lighting and HVAC systems; natural light for every workspace; energy-efficient appliances; and low-emission construction materials, such as paint, adhesives, sealants, carpet, coatings and furniture.  Being located across the street from the Wal-Mart Home Office was a sustainable move in itself, as employee driving would decrease dramatically. But Hanesbrands went a step further, installing bike racks at the Bentonville Plaza. And for those employees who choose to ride their bikes to work, showers were installed for them to clean up.
Well done, Hanesbrands!
