Water and Storm Water Efficiency
- Advanced building-automation for mechanical and electrical systems saves power and gas consumption
- No CFC-based refrigerants, which affect the ozone layer
- Maximized insulation and building products to control heat gain and loss through the building envelope.
- Motion-activated lighting keeps the lights off unless someone is in the area.
- Reflective roof minimizes ‘heat island effect’ – reducing cooling costs
Site and Materials Efficiency
- Rainwater is harvested for restroom facilities, which use low-flow plumbing fixtures
- Adaptable and drought-resistant native species plants require little, if any, irrigation.
- Naturalized landscape cleanses overland water-flow prior to it entering storm-retention ponds.
