Nusta Spa in Washington, D.C., was our nation’s first day spa to achieve gold certification back in 2004. They were quickly accepted into the (LEED) Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design pilot program. This voluntary rating system is consensus-based, and was created by the U.S. Green Building Council to define and measure the official standards for the environmentally responsible building of commercial interiors, and gold certification is the best.
Some of the eco features are:
- All printed materials use eco-friendly paper and ink.
- Spa feautres a wall that is made from salvaged wood of a former barn.
- Nusta has carpeting with more than 50% recycled content.
- Energy efficient HVAC system and lighting installed.
- They carry eco-friendly product lines.
- Their maple flooring came from a sustainable forest.
- The locker room doors made from bamboo, which has a short harvest cycle.
