And, because almost all of the components can be reused, rather than ending up in a landﬁll, there’s a big environmental beneﬁt, as well. PREPARING FOR LEED-EB CERTIFICATION The facilities team developed an array of innovative operational and procurement tactics in preparation for LEED certiﬁcation. Motion detectors and photocells turn off lights when they’re not needed. Sophisticated computer programs determine when to operate and not to operate the HVAC system, and how to warm or cool the building after weekends. An automated step-by-step process warms up the building before employees arrive in the morning. ■ The World Headquarters features the expansive glass and steel Teaming Workplace, a 400,000-square-foot, three-story facility that stretches 1,000 feet from end to end—the equivalent of two city blocks. 24 S U S TA I N A B L E F A C I L I T Y NOVE M B E R 2008
