This 10,000 square foot office building is headquarters for the iconic Trees Atlanta organization and the project team was charged with producing an exemplary building. We did. This was one of Georgia’s first LEED Platinum buildings and operates at 72% less energy use than “business as usual” designs. In fact, because we are interested, RBGB has tracked ongoing performance for this building and it continues to operate at a high level of performance. RBGB personnel led the entire LEED process, constructed the energy model and performed various studies to improve performance such as analyzing a physical model for shading effects and critical window property selection. This project includes a geothermal heat pump system, solar thermal hot water, solar electric, rainharvest system for toilet flushing and irrigation, daylighting, green roof, and sustainable landscape.
