| - Natural daylight; fresh air; and careful
selection of building materials,
finished products, and construction practices are the holistic approach to sustainable design - Natural ventilation has eliminated the traditional ducted air system - Building form enhances internal stack effects to provide air change through natural ventilation and localised fans - Operable windows and fresh air vents under each window allow a continual flushing of fresh air through the building - Direct venting of the copy machine areas helps to maintain good indoor air quality - Carpet is laid without adhesive - Millwork is constructed from formaldehyde-free materials - Finishes are solvent-free, low emission products - Existing stand of threes along 300 foot western edge of the building reduces cooling loads with summer shading - Tenant awareness programme educates users about building features and items over which they have control |
