Green Features

PNC was the first major U.S. bank to apply green building standards to all newly constructed or renovated retail offices. It is the only bank permitted to use the term Green Branch® based on its registered trademark granted by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. The trademark is affirmation of PNC’s leadership in green building since 1998. To date, PNC has completed more than 200 Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) projects, including more newly constructed LEED-certified buildings (130+) than any company on Earth.

PNC’s green building strategy, which allows the company to decrease its energy consumption and costs, increase efficiency and improve employee satisfaction, focuses on:

*Energy Efficiency: PNC’s newly constructed branches are approximately 35 percent more energy efficient than a traditional branch due to the use of LED lights, occupancy sensors, ENERGY STAR® appliances and highly-insulated building facades and windows, among other green elements.

*Water Efficiency: Water consumption is reduced by approximately 30 percent through the use of low-flow fixtures. 

*Materials: PNC diverts approximately 50 percent of construction waste from landfills and uses local building materials that are made from recycled or green materials.

(www.pnc.com) is one of the nation’s largest diversified financial services organizations providing retail and business banking; residential mortgage banking; specialized services for corporations and government entities, including corporate banking, real estate finance and asset-based lending; wealth management and asset management.
