![]() ![]() Instead, rainwater and air-conditioner condensate are collected and stored for use. No potable water is used for irrigation on the site. The building is well insulated and features several energy-saving technologies, including heat-recovery ventilation and water-source heat pumps. In addition, a covered garage was integrated into the building to reduce overall square footage and contribution to the urban heat-island effect and stormwater runoff. A 20,000-ft2 outdoor terrace incorporated into the building provides similar benefits as the green roof. This LEED Gold project has a sloped green roof that controls stormwater drainage, filters pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air, reduces heating and cooling loads, reduces the project's contribution to the urban heat-island effect, and provides an ecosystem for wildlife.
