C O L L A B O R A T I V E A R C H I T E C T U R E A3C’s Sustainable Showcase & UrbEn Retreat A3C - Collaborative Architecture renovates their facility to meet LEED-CI Gold Standards and serve as an educational tool for their clients as well as their community. The Project has Succeeded in: Reducing NO2 & CO2 Levels below 50% with a Geothermal HVAC system and lighting improvements. Our Photovoltaic Panels and the future incorporation of Wind Turbines will further improve on that. Reducing Storm Water Run Off by 34% through rain water capture system and a demonstration Green Roof modeling Semi-Intensive & Exten- sive designs. Reducing Water Usage by 30% by installing dual flush power assisted toilets, 1 pint urinals water reducing shower head and sensor faucets. Energy Savings of 47.5% below ASHRAE baseline, purchase of 50% re- newable energy and addition of 2.5% solar energy helps us meet our 2030 Challenge now. Improving Indoor Environmental Quality by providing for natural ventilation and selection of materials that eliminate or have minimal out- gassing. Increasing Daylight and Lighting Controls with energy efficient light- ing, integrated control systems and daylighting through roof monitors Utilizing Sustainable Materials & Resources by selecting regionally sourced, rapidly renewable and recycled products throughout the building.
