to life.
Creative construction strategies and innovative materials, earned the Weather Channel a Gold LEED certification for its newly constructed HD studio in Atlanta, GA. From harnessing heat generated by studio lighting to warm the building, to collecting rainwater for landscape irrigating, the architecturally impressive facility has raised the bar on green building.

And at Krieger, we're proud to have been a part of it. Krieger's custom manufactured acoustical doors, with more than 30% pre and post consumer recycled content, energy efficient seals and no detectable VOC's helped add to the points that earned the Gold certification. Our custom manufactured pair of oversized doors and two standard size doors, all with an STC 53 ratings, are located within the HD studio.
