achieving approximately 50% energy reduction (i.e. automatic lighting controls and occupancy sensors)
30% water use reduction (i.e. low flow fixtures, no site irrigation)
5% on-site energy generation (i.e. wind or solar power)
construction materials and assemblies from local sources (up to 800 km radius)
high recycled content and/or utilizing rapidly renewable resources (i.e. wheat board)
more than 75% construction waste diverted from landfill
15% of all wood content from sustainable forests
high user control over interior environment (i.e. ample thermostats, operable windows)
75% of interior spaces having daylight and views of the exterior
low VOC interior finishes
shower facilities and bike storage to encourage less dependence on auto transport
no ozone-depleting chemicals in HVAC systems
exterior luminaries which reduce light pollution
on-site recyclables collection, rainwater harvesting for flushing of toilets, truck fill and truck washing
implementation of a green housekeeping plan (i.e. solvent free cleaners)
