A new 165,000-square-foot home for Berkeley City College (BCC) has been constructed in downtown Berkeley. BCC is part of the Peralta Community College District. The project achieved a LEED Silver rating. The building is highly energy efficient; it was designed to have energy savings of 43.8% beyond California's Title-24 energy code requirements. Furthermore, it is an urban infill project near public transportation, and it features a variety of green materials and design strategies, including an Energy Star-rated "cool" (reflective) roof, as well as recycled-content and low-emitting materials. In addition, the project has achieved most of the LEED credits related to indoor environmental quality, including thermal comfort and increased ventilation effectiveness.
