Clemson University's Timken Building was the first building in the city to achieve LEED-gold certification and the first in the state to achieve gold certification for shell and core construction, with its raised-access flooring, under-floor air distribution and sun-shading.
Playbook for Green Buildings and Neighborhoods
The Playbook website provides local governments with guidance and resources to rapidly advance green buildings, neighborhoods and infrastructure. Strategic action in these sectors promotes economic development, builds healthier communities, strengthens energy independence, and supports climate protection.
Green Building: LEED for Neighborhood Development
The LEED for Neighborhood Development Rating System integrates the principles of smart growth, urbanism and green building into the first national system for neighborhood design. LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a development's location and design meet accepted high levels of environmentally responsible, sustainable development.

Greenville has a lot of green and is definitely becoming a Smarter City! We have the Shi Center for Sustainability at Furman University, the Swamp Rabbit Trail for walking and cycling, an electric bus manufacturing company coming soon (Proterra), GOFO organization (Greenville Organic Foods Organization), Farmers' Markets, more LEED buildings being built, a green and healthy living magazine (Natural Awakenings Upstate), restaurants using local and organic produce, and a walkable downtown with a lot of trees! Greenville is constantly working on ways to become more sustainable.
