Duke Energy gives first look inside its new HQ - Charlotte Business Journal:

Charlotte Business Journal - by John Downey Senior Staff Writer
"Altogether, the new offices are projected to be about 20 percent more energy efficient than space not built to the LEED standards.

And Duke has another project under way in the new headquarters. The company is designing what it calls the Workplace of the Future.

If the LEED standards set out to provide maximum sustainability and minimum environmental impact on each floor, the workplace initiative is designed to provide the best working conditions. The desks have adjustable heights. Computer screens can all be brought to eye level for any worker, at whatever angle the employee finds most comfortable. There are work stations in groups of four set up for cooperative work. Additional private stations in the open floor plan are designed for what Duke calls “heads-down” work."
