Dallas’ First LEED Project
Through innovative design and construction, the headquarters achieved LEED Silver certification. The City eliminated the use of over 10,000 gallons of city water per day by designing a storm water recycling system for irrigation. Environmentally conscious construction processes included:
- recycling the existing asphalt pavement, concrete and soil waste
- a HEPA grade filtration system
- low VOC adhesives and sealants, paints, and carpet products
- energy efficiency optimized through the use of part-load chiller operation, water-side economizer and plate-frame heat exchangers
- enthalpy wheels recover sensible and latent heat from exhaust and outdoor air streams
- indirect fluorescent lighting system with occupancy sensors and continuous dimming daylighting controls
