Developer Remley was presented with the LEED Platinum v4 Certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the most widely-used green building rating system in the world with four certification levels - Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
Accepting the award on behalf of Remley, Development Director David Torpey said: "Remley is honoured to officially receive this certification from the USGBC. Their work to promote and recognise environmental and sustainability standards in buildings worldwide is incredibly valuable. It is gratifying to see our considerable efforts to ensure that these three office buildings were held to the highest sustainability standards rewarded in this way."

This recognition places Miesian Plaza as the first and only development in Ireland to be awarded LEED Platinum v4 Certification in any category. There are only 178 LEED v4 Platinum Buildings in the world and Miesian Plaza is the 179th Building. All other developments in Ireland submitted to the USGBC accreditation process opted back in 2015/2016 to seek LEED V.3 Certification.
Miesian Plaza includes three office buildings of approximately 240,000ft2 of Grade A office accommodation, constructed between 2014 and 2017, including tenant fit-out. Block 1 is occupied by The Department of Health, The Department of Children and Youth Affairs and The Department of Finance; and Blocks 2 & 3 are occupied by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited. Remley is satisfied that its tenants will reap the benefit of the LEED Platinum Version 4 accreditation awarded to the development, by virtue that the energy consumption is substantially less than buildings which could not secure such LEED accreditation.
