HOUSTON — Hess Tower, a business structure in central downtown Houston, has surpassed the LEED Gold mark and reached LEED Platinum with the completion of high-performance glazing. Joining only a handful of other buildings in Texas with that rating, the 29-story Class-A office space was able to reach the highest rank largely due to the glass and metal façade done by Rogers, Minn.-based Quality Metalcrafts and Wausau, Wis.-based company, Linetec.
