  • Use of geothermal wells and ground source heat pumps as both heating and cooling source
  • Material reuse – trees grown onsite were used in building elements like window seats, benches and column wraps
  • Enhanced building envelope – through efficient insulation and windows for temperature control, as well as reduced energy costs
  • Electrical plug load management with sweeping shut-off to save energy
  • Use of stormwater detention to manage stormwater runoff
