Konami has always been very conscious of the environment and so it was a natural fit for us to expand our facility with a goal of obtaining LEED certification, commentedTom Jingoli, chief administration officer and senior vice president at Konami Gaming.

Konami’s expanded facility more than doubled its original 160,000 square foot facility with full Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) certification and became one of the state’s largest facilities to achieve complete geothermal heating and cooling.

“Our new headquarters has been designed and delivered with environmentally-friendly and energy saving considerations in every aspect,” said Tom Jingoli, chief administration officer and senior vice president at Konami Gaming. “Konami has always been very conscious of the environment and so it was a natural fit for us to expand our facility with a goal of obtaining LEED certification. We felt this was an important investment to demonstrate our commitment to being good corporate citizens.”

A myriad of environmental initiatives were introduced in addition to the geothermal system—subterranean parking, LED lighting, and completely new roofing, flooring, paint, and furniture—all contributing to LEED silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and this year’s recognition from NAIOP’s Southern Nevada Chapter.
