|
Savannah Morning News A new McDonalds opened on Tuesday in the Abercorn Common shopping center. The restaurant, located at 7979 White Bluff Road, will have some unusual components, including a reflective roof designed to save energy. And more than 50 percent of the wood used in the restaurant comes from sustainable managed forests as identified by the Forestry Stewardship Council. Melaver Inc., the developer of the Abercorn Common project, expects the project, including the restaurant to receive LEED certification. Members of the U.S. Green Building Council developed LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The rating system applies to high-performance, sustainable buildings. |
