It is a way to minimize both resource consumption and the impact building has on the environment. The green building movement arose out of the desire for more energy efficient and environmentally friendly building practices. The roof has a Solar Reflectance Index of 110, which exceeds minimum requirement of SRI 78. Heat Island Effect – Roof - A white high albedo roof for the entire surface – Carlisle SynTec’s Sure-weld TPO white membrane roofing. 63.9% of the project’s hardscape meets that minimum by using a light grey concrete (parking garage deck).Ĩ.

Heat Island Effect – Non-Roof - 50% of the site hardscape (roads, sidewalks, courtyards and parking lots) have a Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of at least 29. There are five 8’ diameter drywells surrounded in crushed stone that will act as a retention system with capacity for infiltration.ħ. Stormwater Design – the project will capture and treat 90% of the average annual rainfall and remove 80% of total suspended solids. Spaces will be signed for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles and will be close to main entrance.Ħ. Low-Emission & Fuel Efficient Vehicles - providing preferred parking spaces for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles for 5% of the total parking capacity. One showering facility is required for the 167 occupents - located on level 2 of building.ĥ. The bike racks are located in bike storage room on Level 1 of the garage. Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms -providing covered and secured bicycle storage for a minimum of 5% of the peak building users. Basic services include retail, grocery, banks, restaurants, places of worship, schools and a fire station.ģ. 5 mile radius of the building’s main entrance there are at least 2 zones that can be designated as residential zones and many basic services within pedestrian access. Development Density and Community Connectivity - a dense urban site. Site Selection - the site was formerly developed and consists entirely of an existing building and paving.Ģ.
