The LFC buildings are highlyenergy efficient. Mechanical systems are finely tunedduring building commissioning to ensure that they areoperating at optimum levels. Assisting the mechanicalare engineered metal solar screens, high-performanceglass, and reflective roofing to filter and reflect theSouth Florida sunlight and reduce “heat island” effectand cooling loads.
