Responsible sourcing contributed to using building materials having over 40% of recycled content, largely reducing the need for virgin materials
Landscape design incorporates plant materials that are drought tolerant, and irrigation systems are automated with controls for water conservation and reduction during rain events
Does not rely upon fossil fuel combustion for building space heating or for potable water heating
Includes energy recovery units that capture the heat/cooling from the ventilation air that cycles through the occupied spaces
LED light fixtures allows for performance 24% better than the California Energy Code
Design includes shading of glass windows and design that reduces the solar heat gain of the building
Thermal storage allows for the building to have partial influence on interior space temperature without the need for electrical cooling/heating
