Other Green Building Features
- We are located on the former U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center site, so instead of building on virgin land, we chose to redevelop an existing brownfield site.
- Mass transportation is easily accessible from our building, with two bus routes and a regional rail line nearby.
- There are many community services within walking distance of our building, including stores, banks, child care and medical offices.
- We encourage our employees to ride their bikes to work by providing bike racks, changing rooms and shower facilities.
- We encourage the use of low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles by designating choice parking spots for those types of vehicles.
- No potable water is used to irrigate our landscape.
- We utilized materials that emit no or low amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as paints, adhesives and carpets, in the construction of the building.
- We have installed indoor and outdoor green roofs and an indoor living plant wall.
- We use ENERGY STAR-qualified appliances, vending machines, computers, printers and copiers throughout the building.
- We developed and implemented a green housekeeping program.
- No bottled water is served in our cafeteria or pantries. Instead we provide specially filtered, chilled tap water.
