Delta Electronics Americas HQ Earns LEED Certification

The facility is the first LEED Zero Energy-Certified Green Building in Fremont, CA.

Delta Electronics Americas’ regional headquarters is the first green building in Fremont, California and second in the Silicon Valley Bay Area to achieve the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED Zero Energy certification. Granted to green buildings that generate as much electricity as they consume, the achievement was reached thanks to implementation of Delta's own IoT-based smart green solutions on the already LEED Platinum-certified facility.

A new solar PV carport, supported by a 330kWh Delta energy storage system, now helps to increase the building's annual green electricity generation to over 1.4 million kWh.

With 32 green buildings¹ enabled worldwide, Delta's solutions are nurturing sustainable cities.

"Just as Fremont leads the way in clean technology, Delta Electronics continues to set the industry standard for building performance," said Lily Mei, Mayor of Fremont. "The company's built-to-suit Americas HQ in Fremont previously laid claim to being one of the earliest private sector LEED Platinum facilities in California. Today, Delta Electronics sets another milestone as only the second facility in the entire Bay Area to achieve LEED Zero-Energy.

"As one of the greenest cities in the nation, we’re proud that Delta Electronics continues to showcase sustainability through thoughtful application of technology, including using its Fremont facility as a proving grounds for many of its own products while working through pandemic disruptions to invest even further in our community," Mei added.

"Fremont has been Delta's home in the Americas for over 30 years, so it is an honor for us to contribute to our community with the environmental and social benefits of the city's very first LEED Zero Energy green building," said Kelvin Huang, President of Delta Electronics (Americas). "With its net-zero energy capabilities, our Americas HQs green building will contribute even further to Delta's RE100 initiative, which is a promise to power our worldwide operations with renewable electricity by 2030. By developing smart energy-saving solutions capable of fostering green buildings and sustainable cities, Delta demonstrates that its ESG-embedded business model can bolster mankind's environmental goals."

With an energy conscious design that utilizes geographical advantages unique to Fremont while considering the productivity and needs of its operations, the Delta Americas HQs building is an example of a total integrated solution.
