We closely follow up international studies on this issue and continue working to comply with the highest standards."

U.S. Green Buildings Council CEO Mahesh Ramanujam stated: “As transportation projects usually have high operational costs, water and energy consumptions and waste productions, they have serious impacts on our daily lives and environment. These projects transform into efficient, economical and sustainable transportation units through the implementation of LEED green building strategies and contribute to the economy, environment, efficiency and people's wellbeing".
