The 9,000 SF facility exemplifies SSCAFCA’s commitment to
environmental stewardship. The project
is constructed with an extremely well insulated exterior shell and incorporates
a variety of thermal stabilizing mass elements such as exposed concrete,
concrete block and rammed earth. These
elements combined with the extremely efficient HVAC system, efficient and
effective lighting concepts of daylighting and lighting controls keeps the
building’s energy use to a minimum.
Energy use throughout the facility is offset by the 16 kilowatt
bi-facial photovoltaic array that serves both as on-site renewable power
production, but also as parking shading structures. With the incorporation of on-site power
generation, the entire facility is Net Energy Zero. Nearly all of the roof area of the building
funnels water to a collection system (16,000 gallon capacity) that is utilized
for irrigation. The SSCAFCA site also
demonstrates a permeable paving system for parking and circulating drive that greatly
reduces storm water runoff from those areas.
This demonstration showcases how a sustainable technology has a
collateral cumulative positive effect on city infrastructure by reducing storm
water loads and effectively reducing maintenance and cost. The site is planted with indigenous species
and demonstrates integration of the built environment and the living landscape
as a commitment to environmental stewardship and regeneration.
