The project that broke ground in 2004 includes a 4.6-megawatt co-generation plant. The roof is designed to capture rainwater, while floor-to-ceiling windows reduce the need for artificial lighting. In order to save 8 million to 9 million gallons of water annually, the high-rise building has waterless urinals in men's rooms and wastewater from the sinks is recycled.

The certification is also supported with the massive amounts of recycled materials that went into the construction.

This is a good example for future construction.
