Station Landing, AAA (NCNU)

• Low VOC-emitting materials in all aspects of the interior finishes (carpet, paint, furniture, adhesives, and sealants) provide a high level of indoor air quality
• Onsite bicycle storage units & changing rooms, fuel-efficient vehicle parking, nearby access to BART trains, and limited on-site parking encourage tenants to use alternative transportation
• The building uses 40% less water than the baseline case through the use of low flow toilets, urinals, showers, and sinks,
• Building a 3-story concrete parking garage in lieu of expansive black asphalt parking lots greatly minimizes the heat-island effect on site. The smaller footprint of the parking garage also preserves open space.
• Native plant species and tall grass cover the site and reduce irrigation demand.
• Bioswales along the west end of the property naturally clean stormwater and provide a habitat for vegetation.
• The recycled content points were achieved largely from all the recycled steel in both structures (steel-framed office, reinforced concrete garage). But interior finishes also contributed to the credit such as the breakroom countertops which were made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.
• 67% of all wood used in the construction is Certified FSC.
• 77 % of the building obtains day-light from strategically placed windows.
