Sul Progetto

BEE was contracted by Starbucks to conduct full-scope LEED CI services for their two locations in Hefei and the Shanghai Expo, the very first LEED stores for Starbucks in Mainland China. Additionally, we worked closely with Starbucks to help them achieve LEED Platinum certification for Shanghai Roastery (second largest Roastery in the world) and LEED Gold certification for Milan Roastery.

BEE was initially hired by Starbucks to implement training programs for their internal sustainability initiative for design and construction based on the LEED Volume Program (both v1.0 and v2.0). This relationship evolved into BEE managing the LEED certification process for Starbucks’ stores.

In addition, to providing sustainable design and construction strategies, BEE incorporated the BEE Sense system to monitor the indoor air quality in real-time which improved the overall IAQ performance.
