11 biz headquarters that snagged LEED Platinum status (photos)

Located in Milford, Ohio, the corporate headquarters site for energy company Melink is not only one of the few LEED Platinum buildings in the state, it has managed to achieve net-zero status. The 30,000-square-foot facility upgraded its status from Gold through the addition of roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar photovoltaic technology and wind power. It maximizes daylight and includes R-19 insulation, a roof membrane with R-30 insulation and high-performance exterior windows. All of those features contribute to its net-zero status, achieved in 2011. (Photo courtesy of Melink.)
