The Regional Development Mission for Asia (USAID/RDMA) headquarters in Bangkok is the first overseas USAID facility to win a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for its commercial interior. The facility’s lighting and air handling systems keep energy consumption to a minimum. Carpeting and furnishings throughout the offices are made with recycled materials and local resources were used to help minimize the carbon footprint associated with importing such goods.
