A grant from Pennsylvania’s Energy Harvest is funding a 75kW solar array on the 7-story roof. The building has a central water source heat pump system for heating and cooling the building. There are plans to purchase Green Power to account for at least 70% of core and shell electricity consumption over a period of two years.

Material & Resources
Maintaining at least 50% of existing walls, floors, and roof. They are targeting 75% construction waste diversion. More than 10% of contect will be recycled as well as regional materials. More than 50% of lumber will be certified wood. Masonry from demolition is being salvaged, used, and reused as on-site fill.
