Sustainable Site
- Close proximity to public transportation
- carpooling, transportation benefits
- preferred carpool parking
- high albedo roofing materials to reduce heat island effect
- bicycle storage, showers and changing rooms for 7.7% of occupants
- alternative fueling stations provide for 3.33% of the occupants
Water Efficiency
- 52% reduction in use of potable water through non irrigated “xerigraphic” landscaping of native mixtures
- high efficiency irrigation system provided for limited areas
- use of low-flow and water efficient fixtures and appliances
Energy & Atmosphere
- optimized energy efficiency through a 47.1% energy reduction compared to ASHRAE 90.1-1999
- additional systems commissioning
- HCFC and Halon free HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) equipment
- plan for sub metering water and energy usage
- use of Variable frequency drives ( VFD) for optimization of energy use
Materials & Resources
- occupant recycling
- construction waste management diverted 50% from land fill
- 39.9% combined value of post-occupancy plus half post industrial recycled content materials relative to total cost of materials
- 29.1% local materials relative to total cost of materials
Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)
- CO2 sensors monitor to outside ambient levels and increased ventilation if exceeding thresholds
- low emitting materials - adhesives, paints and carpets
- indoor pollutant source control
- controllability of non perimeter temperature, ventilation and lighting systems
- thermal comfort compliance with ASHRAE 55 – 1992 for relative humidity and temperature
- 2% day lighting factor for 79% of occupied space for critical visual tasks
Innovation & Design Process
- Exemplary performance on EA c6 - Purchase of 100% of electricity for 2 year contract from Wind Current
- Education program to highlighting building features, tours and public outreach
