- A central mechanical room was created for all the buildings which allows for the efficient and conservative use of fuel
- Ducted air returns were used, which keeps the air fresh and pure because we are ducting directly to the unit with return air instead of using the space above the ceiling

- A storm water garden was developed to treat the storm water run off from all the buildings allowing for clean run off to enter the City's system before it gets to the Lake
- Green space, shrubs, trees, ferns, and flowers are abundant throughout the project. We have over 80 trees planted on our two-acre parcel called Phase One.
