Energy & Atmosphere*

• Designing ventilation and air handling systems that recover energy from stale air before it is exhausted from the building.
• Installing high efficiency boilers and chillers, Energy Star™ appliances and compact fluorescent lighting
• Constructing the building with double-glazed, gas-filled, air tight windows and thermally insulated walls
• Installing integrated energy management systems to optimize loads and step down equipment or lighting when it is not in use and by hiring a third party commissioning authority to ensure that the equipment operates according to the design
• Installing meters for electricity and other loads to make sure that residents only pay for what they use
