1. Extensive use of daylighting is incorporated in all occupied spaces
2. Sensors regulate lighting and mechanical ventilation levels based on occupancy and available natural light to converve energy
3. Natural convection ventilation regulates temperature throughout building
4. Geothermal system uses Earth's relatively consistent temperature to heat and cool the building
5. Rainwater supplies 85% of the building's yearly water needs
6. A vegitated roof replaces land taken up by the building and reduces airborne pollutants
7. Regionally available and recycled building materials

1. Low emitting adhesives, paint, carpet, and composite wood
2. Indoor air quality management
3. Exceeds EPA's best practices for erosion and sediment control
4. Computerized energy modeling
5. Porous pavement removes pollutants from stormwater runoff in parking lot
6. Total Energy recovery wheels minimize energy loss from redundant conditioning of air
7. Regionally available building materials
