Trees” are evident in every neighborhood. In addition, Houston Arboretum donated 2,000 trees that were used in the reforestation of Orange and Shangri La. During construction, care was taken to ensure building interiors were not contaminated by construction products. No sawing or sanding was allowed inside the buildings during construction. Additionally, all products used in finishing, gluing, or sealing had to be low in volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). Carpets and wall coverings also had to meet this requirement. A final method to ensure clean air in the buildings involved not running building air conditioning systems until an official flush-out period occurred. During this flush-out, auxiliary air conditioners with filters were operated taking air from inside of the buildings to the outside. Filtered outside air was returned into the building using the same system. This ensured the duct system and internal air conditioning components were not contaminated by the construction process. The mission of Shangri La sums up best its commitment to sustainability: “Mentoring children, of all ages, to be kind to their world.” Come to Shangri La to enjoy beautiful gardens, rekindle your sense of wonder in nature, and experience one of the ten greenest places on earth. Michael Hoke, Managing Director, Shangri La
