Department store chain Kohl's is joining the growing number of companies emphasizing environmentally friendly facilities. The company is working towards meeting the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) guidelines of Washington's U.S. Green Building Council. That involves using solar panels to cover 40 percent of a store's energy needs, increasing the amount of insulation and using reusable and recycled building materials.
