CLARK FREEPORT, PHILIPPINES: Texas Instruments (TI) Inc. announced that the US Green Building Council (USGBC) has awarded its new assembly/test facility in the Clark Zone, Philippines a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification, distinguishing the site as the first Gold-certified facility in the Philippines.
"The LEED Gold certification is a validation of TI's commitment to environmental stewardship and to the health of the communities where it operates," said Bing Viera, managing director of TI's operations in the Philippines. "The Clark facility was designed from the ground up to maximize manufacturing capabilities and minimize environmental impact."
The newly constructed 780,000 square foot facility is located on the former USA Clark airbase in the Pampanga province of the Philippines on the northern island of Luzon. TI has had a manufacturing presence in the Philippines for more than 30 years and earned a LEED-NC Silver certification on its Phase V expansion project in Baguio City last year. The Phase V project was the Philippine's first LEED certified building.
TI began using USGBC LEED rating systems to guide continuing improvements for construction and sustainability in the early 2000s when the company constructed the world's first LEED Gold certified semiconductor manufacturing facility, RFAB, in Richardson, Texas.
