Our headquarters at 595 Aldine Street in Saint Paul achieved LEED v4 Gold certification from USGBC Minnesota. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building rating system and a symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership.
Some of the many sustainable features of our building include
- A 3,000-gallon cistern in our lobby collects rain water from the building’s roof
- Rain gardens, boulevard tree trenches, pervious pavement, and underground infiltration combine to capture all the water runoff from our site
- An automated system to manage interior glare and reduce lighting costs
- Rooftop solar panels supply 25% of CRWD’s electricity needs
- Carpeting made from recycled fishing nets
- Wood paneling from Siberian Elm, an invasive tree harvested at nearby Willow Reserve in Saint Paul
