For instance, all enamels, stains, paints and primers will be well below LEED standards for VOCs. All windows will be Low-E double paned to minimize energy loss via conduction. All of the red iron to be used in the project is 100% recycled. Low flow water closets and urinals will be used to save on water consumption. Natural groundwater cooling will be used to cool the building. The heat generated by the computer server room will heat the domestic hot water using a de-superheater. And much much much much more….Keep an eye on this blog as we’ll be talking about the many other “green” aspects of this building as they are implemented and installed.
