Abstract

"Focus on Green Business" piece on the Hannaford Bros. store in Augusta, which is the first platinum LEED-certified supermarket in the country. The designation from the U.S. Green Building Council ratchets up Hannaford's commitment to using energy-efficient systems. As well as being a model for other Hannaford stores, the staff has hosted tour groups for businesses. Hannaford supermarkets already have efficiencies that save an additional 25 percent in energy costs compared with most non-Hannaford supermarkets. The store in Augusta saves an additional 50 percent on top of that.
