Building Features Extensive daylighting -- designed to penetrate deep into the building Building automation system (direct digital control) for peak energy performance Variable air volume controls and outside air economizers to conserve energy Frequent fresh air changes to flush indoor spaces during building occupancy Low VOC paints, sealants, adhesives and other materials Strict control of formaldehyde and other indoor contaminants in construction materials -- ambient air     testing at construction completion to ensure compliance Phasing of finish material application avoids absorption of contaminants by carpet, ceiling tile, etc. --     helping preserve indoor air quality Aggressive recycled content requirements in all major building materials Certified sustainable wood products Recyclable carpet -- must be part of an operating program which extracts materials for re- use or reclaims energy Low emissivity, "Low-E," glass -- for minimizing solar heat gain Energy conserving fume hoods with night setback feature -- 70% reduction in air demand Collector plenum for lab air exhaust reduces the number of fans by 75% Atrium provides for light, thermal benefit, better human environment Isolation of potential EMF sources from occupied building spaces
