Our Facilities

We Believe in Conserving Resources and Protecting our Earth.

Our facility is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council and has achieved the highest level of certification under the LEED rating system.

 Materials throughout the building were selected with attention to their environmental impact, earning the project LEED points for the use of high recycled content and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood.

High performance insulation, windows, and LED lighting and controls greatly reduce the building’s energy demand. We incorporated state of the art HVAC design, utilizing variable heating/cooling modes and heat recovery to substantially lower the system’s overall energy demand and provide greater occupant comfort. Thanks to these efficiencies and to a rooftop covered with solar panels, the majority of the building’s energy use will be offset by renewable solar photovoltaics.

Our team members are all ardent advocates for eco-responsibility and sustainable living. We maintain programs that save water and energy and reduce solid waste. We are committed to practices that help protect our environment and show leadership in eco-responsibility.

  • Our HVAC systems are highly rated for efficiency.
  • Our lighting is exclusively from LED sources. We use timers or sensors for lighting, heating and cooling.
  • We use water-efficient faucets and dual flush toilets.
  • We use consumable paper products made from recycled paper including toilet paper and facial tissue.
