Environmental Aspects

The TD Bank store achieved highest level of LEED certification, LEED Platinum. The store is based on TD Bank's new green-store design standards, which make new TD Bank locations almost 50% more energy-efficient than the bank's previous design. Each green store features a solar drive-through canopy that produces between 12-18% of the building's annual energy needs and design elements that make it more energy-efficient to help it achieve LEED certification. With LEED Platinum, the building meets the first of two requirements in targeting net-zero energy: -The branch is energy-efficient, needing 97,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity a year to operate. -Approximately 400 solar panels on the store's roof, drive-through canopy, and adjacent solar field are expected to produce a minimum of 100,000 kWh of electricity a year on site.
