Shangi-La Construction & Citadel Environmental Services hosted a press event for the first LEED Platinum Building in Glendale with their partners Sidemark and Pollack Architecture. The event was well attended by local media, politicians and building industry professionals and received environmental awards from the local mayor and the US Green Building Council. The event was catered by Green Truck and produced by Agents 99, dubroWORKS PR, and Big Time Affairs.
Highlights of the green building include:
- Maximum use of natural light: skylights installed, primary dependence on daylight vs. lights, and every seat in the offices have access to outside view.
- New energy-efficient double-paned exterior windows and storefronts.
- New packaged air handling systems (SER-14 units), which are 37% more efficient.
- New water-efficient interior plumbing and bathroom fixtures reduce usage by 62%.
- Green Seal certified furniture systems (contain high amount of recycled content).
- 120 solar panels provide 45,000 khw per year, enough to power the entire building (Citadel and tenant), and net meter an additional 16% back to the city of Glendale.
- Native, drought-tolerant landscaping with temporary drip irrigation system.
- New energy-efficient lighting design requires 38.5% less power aesthetic.
- Focus on a 500-mile radius for sourcing over 20% of its materials.
