This LEED Gold certified tower is the nation's first green residential high-rise building and a model of sustainable design and construction principles. It has won numerous industry awards, including the 2004 AIA/COTE Top Ten Green Projects, and a 2004 Excellence in Design Award from Environmental Design and Construction Magazine. HEA served as LEED commissioning authority for all mechanical, electrical, plumbing and life safety systems, and aided with indoor air quality testing.
Amenities include more light, cleaner air, fresher water, roof gardens, natural materials and dramatic energy savings. It uses 35% less energy than conventional buildings and 65% less electricity during peak demand. An onsite wastewater treatment facility and a storm-water reuse system, together with vigilant water conservation strategies, produce a building that consumes 50% less potable water.
