About Project
The FEMA disaster operations center in Winchester is the first commercial building in Frederick County VA to be certified “green” by the U.S. Green Building Council. The structure is outfitted with custom exterior sun control systems provided by Peachtree. In supporting the project we helped the project to earn several LEED credits.
