Net-Zero Energy:

• EU I (Energy Use Index) rating of 10kbtu/sf/yr
• A 242kW photovoltaic array produced 60% more energy than the building used in 2014
• Geo-exchange system harvests energy from the earth to provide efficient heating and cooling
• Radiant floor heating and cooling system
• Through PAE’s in-house research, the building “plug loads” are expected to be reduced 78% through the use of cloud-based servers, thin client work stations, and laptops replacing desktop computing equipment

Net-Zero Water:

• 56,000-gallon cistern for rainwater harvesting
• Greywater reclamation
• Composting, foam-flush toilets that save 96% more water
• Rainwater filtration for potable uses (pending city permit)
• Green roof and constructed wetland
