Argentina.
Altman Eco Office is the first building in that country to obtain the LEED Platinum Core & Shell Version 2009 certification with 84 points out of a total of 110 possible.
This certification is a validation for the project for using sustainable strategies in the materials and methods in the development of the work prior to its completion. It is the fifth project in the world presented with the 2009 version.
Altman Eco Office opted for regional materials for construction, since the use of those made in nearby regions supports the local economy and reduces transport costs and pollution.
