GREEN POINTS: Building 88 recently was LEED Gold certified for
Commercial Interiors from the Washington, D.C.-based U.S. Green Building
Council. About 750 offices are integrated into 217,000 square feet (20159
m2). A 2-story central atrium has a skylight, so natural light can filter into the
building, and localized light and temperature controls allow occupants to
customize individual spaces to personal comfort levels. Bicycle storage is
located near building entrances, and access to public transportation
encourages employees to commute. About 88 percent of construction
waste was recycled, diverting 1,450 tons (1315 metric tons) of material
from landfills. About 20 percent of materials used included recycled
content, and 28 percent of materials were manufactured within a
500-mile (805-km) radius. Carbon-dioxide sensors monitor CO2 levels
and increase airflow when necessary.
