Aggressive water conservation strategy includes rainwater harvesting, eliminating the need for potable water for toilet.
Targeting LEED Gold certification. Energy Star score of 100. 40% below ASHRAE 2007 benchmarks. Meet requirements set forth by the 2030 Challenge. Anticipated to be in the top 1 percent of U.S. buildings for energy performance. Energy management & verification devices will monitor energy use.
