LEED-Certified Toyota Dealership
in Ann Arbor, MI
Toyota of Ann Arbor is among the top companies with the most Leadership in Energy Environmental Design (LEED)-certified retail locations. We have proudly worn the badge of a Silver LEED Rating for years, as our team is dedicated to protecting the environment. When we built our new facility, we made sure to add environmentally friendly elements everywhere possible. From using recycled materials in our floors and ceilings to significantly reducing our water consumption, there are many ways we work toward saving our planet.
We are striving to create environmental sustainability with a goal of zero impact by 2050. We plan to reach this benchmark by reducing our carbon and water use and by sourcing local construction materials, to improve and promote the biodiversity of the environment. With eco-friendly lighting, recycling processes and construction, we are able to reduce our carbon footprint with every improvement we make. To earn a LEED certification, companies must build using certain environmentally friendly standards or make upgrades to an existing structure to incorporate the practices. The main goals include using less energy, less water and materials sourced from local sites.
What else makes Toyota of Ann Arbor a LEED-Certified dealership? Our car wash uses less than 10 gallons of fresh water per vehicle. The wash water is collected in an underground tanking system that filters solids and dirt from the water. Then the water goes through a reclamation process before being used in the car wash again. This helps us save up to 520,000 gallons of water per year.
