➤ Location and Transportation The use of efficient and electric vehicles is encouraged by providing preferential parking spaces and charging stations, promoting emission reduction and the use of low-emission transportation. ➤ Sustainable Sites Prior to its location, the project conducted detailed analyses of topography, hydrology, climate, vegetation, soil, and human use. Additionally, stormwater management on-site, that is able to manage the 98th percentile, ensures the promotion of the hydrological cycle. ➤ Water Efficiency Due to the implementation of efficient plumbing fixtures in the guardhouse, the project reduces indoor water consumption by 54.86% compared to conventional buildings. The xerophytic landscaping design allows for a 100% reduction in outdoor water use. ➤ Energy and Atmosphere The facility exclusively uses LED lighting, achieving a 29.21% reduction in indoor lighting electricity consumption and a 52.40% reduction in outdoor lighting electricity consumption when comparing the design to the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 standard. Additionally, it features automatic control based on natural lighting, maximizing energy savings. ➤ Materials and Resources During construction, the total waste density was 6.03 lb/ft², below the maximum established by LEED, demonstrating a responsible approach to waste management. ➤ Indoor Environmental Quality With the incorporation of strategically placed skylights, the project achieves optimal levels of natural lighting in 95.95% of the occupied spaces, minimizing the use of artificial lighting. ➤ Innovation All strategies implemented under LEED certification are communicated to the building’s occupants and visitors through a sustainable strategies mural. Throughout the project, it was accompanied by a LEED Accredited Professional specialist.
