This 48,000 SF, two-story building was the first LEED project in California to achieve Gold certification. The building includes offices, meeting and presentation rooms, kitchens, and a basement workout room. Its parking lot and paths are paved with a light-colored, recycled-content aggregate that is made with natural resins rather than petroleum-based materials. Stormwater is captured in bioswales and detention ponds on site. Large existing oak trees were retained, and plantings are native and drought-tolerant. The project achieved energy savings of 35% beyond Title 24-1998. The building features low-profile photovoltaic roof panels, as well as a thermal ice storage system for efficient cooling. Over 82% of the wood used in the project was sustainably harvested wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. And the project achieved all of the LEED credits related to indoor environmental quality. The Foundation also went beyond LEED requirements and hired a janitorial company that uses only non-toxic cleaning products.
