Numerous design decisions contributed to the Goldlevel rating; the building was designed to achieve specific performance achievements, including the following: • 90.1.2010 baseline • 68% Energy Use Intensity Reduction compared to the regional average • 31% indoor water use reduction • 87% outdoor water use reduction • Lighting Power Density that is 38% better than code A handful of the design strategies adopted by the team included: a chilled beam system for increased energy reduction, improved comfort, decreased floor-to-floor height, few air handling units, and less shaft space; a highperformance envelope featuring a 44% window-to-wall ratio; light occupancy sensors and daylight controls that help achieve a calculated lighting power density of 0.6 watts per square foot or lower; low-flow fixtures; and documented Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for 41 different installed products, totaling 53 points in weighted EPD value, with 25% of materials sustainably sourced.
