Savannah Morning News
McDonald's Corp., Oak Brook, Ill., has opened its first-ever McDonald's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certified restaurant. The store is located in the (soon to be) LEED-certified Abercorn Common shopping center in Savannah's southside. Designed by Adams + Associates Architecture, Mooresville, N.C., the McDonald's features large windows that allow daylight to reach 75 percent of the interior of the restaurant, reducing lighting costs. The restaurant also boasts bike racks, preferred parking for hybrid vehicles, porous pavement and a white roof.
