Energy & Atmosphere
-
Optimize Energy Performance- HVAC systems, insulation, window and
lighting systems consume 35% less energy than a code compliant
building.
- Energy Management- Internet accessible Energy
Management system continuously monitors the heating and cooling systems
for efficient operation.Comfort
- Zones-
The HVAC zoning system ensure the building's occupants are comfortable
and productive. The ductwork is split to heat or cool specific
areas only when necessary.
Indoor Environmental Air Quality
-
High efficiency air filtration and UV sterilization systems ensure that
the ventilation system is free of dust, mold and other microbial
contaminants.
-
Low VOCs- All adhesives, pants and carpets contain low Volatile Organic Compounds.
- Natural
Views- Over 90% of regularly occupied spaces have views to the
exterior, improving worker satisfaction and productivity.
Water Efficiency
-
Efficient Plumbing- High efficiency plumbing fixtures reduce the
building's potable water and sewage conveyance by over 50%. The
men's urinal is water and touch free. Saving thousands of gallons
of water each year. Since there is no flushing, the risk of germ
contamination is reduced.
-
Smart Landscaping- Drought- resistant native planting and high
efficiency irrigation system reduce water usage for irrigation by 50%.
- Friendly Lighting- Light pollution across property lines is reduced by using full cut-off light fixtures.
Materials & Resources
-
Locally made- Over 20% of the materials were locally manufactured and
65% of those were extracted locally, reducing strain on transportation
systems, and stimulating the local economy.
- Recycled Waste- Over 10% of the materials used were recycled, and over 90% of the construction waste was recycled.
Sustainable Sites
-
Green Transport- Alternative transportation for building occupants
- Cool
Roof- A heat reflecting coating lowers cooling requirements and reduces
the formation of harmful micro-climates commonly found in urban areas.
