As the concept and final design developed, technologically advanced building systems were incorporated to meet the design criteria of a highly energy-efficient facility, while maintaining low operational costs. These systems included:

 

  • Low-E Insulated Windows, blocking heat producing infrared rays, while letting in 70% of visible light
  • Exterior Light-Shading “Fins”, providing diffused natural light into all work areas
  • Low-energy, High-efficiency indirect lighting fixtures throughout
  • North-facing roof monitors, directing non-heat gaining natural light into the central lobby
  • High-efficiency zoned HVAC systems
