System Description:
(see complete list)

• Solid Waste & Recycling
Exterior garbage cans will be solar photovoltaic powered compacters, and food scraps from the City Hall kitchens will be recycled and used for compost production.  Both of these actions reduce carbon dioxide.

• Solar Shades (street side entry)
Solar shades on the west and south facades keep the building cooler on sunny days by reducing heat gained from the sun and help relieve the burden on cooling systems which will use less energy.

• Electric Car charging stations
Charging stations allow an increasing number of staff or visitors with electric cars a convenient opportunity to charge their car batteries, while conducting business inside.
 
• Enhanced Building Insulation:
The Building has been designed with full perimeter insulation and glazing well above code requirements.  This allows for efficient cooling in the summer and heating in the winter.
