A light-colored ENERGY STAR- rated roof system reduces energy and minimizes impacts on microclimate and wildlife habitat from thermal differences between developed and undeveloped areas. No CFC-based refrigerants were used in the building. Several monitoring systems, such as occupancy sensors for lighting, were installed to reduce energy consumption in real-time. To encourage the development and use of grid-source, non-polluting renewable energy technology, the project has contracted to purchase 100 percent of its energy needs, which is equivalent to 2,629 MWh, from wind generation by employing a two-year renewable energy contract. Carefully designed site lighting is energy efficient and avoids light spillage into adjacent off-site areas, nocturnal environments and the night sky. Materials and Resources To assist with the reduction of waste generated by occupants, two main areas are provided for the collection, sorting and storage of recyclable materials as well as dedicated bins at all staff break areas and workspaces. Several products used throughout the building, with post-consumer and post-industrial recycled material content ranging from 2 percent to 100 percent, constitute a total building recycled content of 5 percent. Crushed foundations were actually used as aggregate in some of the new concrete on the project. The general contractor also was organized about separating materials for recycling, diverting 93 percent of the construction waste from the landfill. Indoor Environment An indoor air quality management plan was enacted to protect all air delivery systems in the building from collecting any dust or contaminants during the construction process. Along that same thread, all sealants, paints, carpet, wood and other finish materials are either free of pollutants or low TOP: DETENTION HOUSING; PHOTO BY JOHN SWAIN.
