Two LEED® Certified Projects Reach Completion

Tharp Plumbing is proud of its work on two “green” projects which are nearing completion- the 450,000 square foot, gold LEED® certified Darden Restaurant Corporate Headquarters in Orlando and the downtown Orlando Fire Station # 1, which is seeking silver LEED® certification.  At both of these project sites, Tharp installed low water consumption fixtures. At  Fire Station #1 a  water cistern system that uses reclaimed storm water to flush the water closets and urinals was installed, while at Darden a reclaimed water main supplies all water closets and urinals. This work is in keeping with the sustainable building practices of the US Green Building Council.
