Construction
Costco’s approach to design and construction is based on sustainable design principles that incorporate recycled materials, native vegetation, and respect for both the land and communities surrounding our buildings.
Highlights
Sustainable Design Principles
Our warehouse designs are generally consistent with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) requirements for green building design.
Recycling Materials
We reuse materials where feasible, including recycled asphalt in new parking lots and prefabricated structural steel systems made with recycled content.
Respect for Land and Nature
We work to preserve natural landscapes and to integrate native plants and trees at our new locations where possible. Our policy is to exceed local landscaping requirements.
