Buildings or developments that are verified and certified as “net zero operational energy and/or carbon.” The building should demonstrate the highest levels of energy efficiency with the use of either renewables generated onsite or renewable energy procured offsite.
Integral Group worked to make this building energy efficient by making it a zero net energy and zero carbon emissions building. Several features of this building are set up to automatically conserve energy including: insulated building envelope, electrochromic self tinting glass windows, abundant natural day lighting/sky lights, LED lighting with occupancy sensors, and recycled building materials. The building also touts the significance of being the city of Mountain View’s first commercial ZNE property. The new owner/occupants, AP+I Design, were very excited to be directly involved with the transformation from a dark and dated concrete tilt up to a sustainable, modern, bright and open work space which they are enjoying immensely since moving in recently.
