Water use for irrigation was reduced 61 per cent using efficient drip irrigation technologies and drought resistant plantings.
Rooftop lighting design directs illumination downwards and is turned off overnight and during migratory bird seasons.
Low-flow plumbing fixtures were selected for installation to reduce potable water consumption.
All exterior glazing within the first 12m of the building is treated with opaque visual markers.
The development is connected to a district energy system that provides high-efficiency heating and cooling for the buildings.
Efficient LED fixtures and lighting controls to manage indoor and exterior lighting.
Each suite is equipped with fan coils units that incorporate an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) that provides heat recovery and moisture control.
