This 50,000 SF, LEED Gold certified building is currently the only
facility in the country that manufactures FSC-certified wood trusses.
Hayward Lumber is the leading supplier of FSC-certified lumber products
on California's central coast. All of the electricity necessary
to operate the facility is generated by the photovoltaic panels
that cover half of the large roof area. It is a 14,400 SF photovoltaic
array that provides 118 kW of electricity. The project also features
an extensive rainwater collection system that captures rainwater
from the roof and stores it in two 30,000-gallon underground cisterns.
Rainwater runoff from the parking lot is also minimized through
the use of pervious pavers. Water conservation is also achieved
through the use of waterless urinals, low-flow fixtures, and ultra-efficient
dishwashers.
