No ozone depleting CFC or HCFC-based (chlorofluorocarbon) refrigerants were used in the building's heating or cooling systems.
 

The building is designed to be 30 percent more efficient than a building that is built to just meet local energy code. This is accomplished through the use of: a photovoltaic energy system; energy-efficient, high-performance, dual-glazed windows; insulation; and a day lighting system which lessens the need for artificial light on sunny days.
 

Solar electric panels are installed on the roof to generate renewable energy for the building.
 

All City buildings are powered by 100% renewable energy purchased under contract.
