Earth Day: Building Green |
Description:
|
Celebrate Earth Day by learning what it means to "build green." Tour the headquarters of Alberici Constructors, the world's only LEED Platinum and 4 Green Globes certified building. Interact with corporate personnel to find out how the building was constructed and how its "green" systems operate. Find out how the headquarters was constructed utilizing recycled and re-used materials. See how the building's site orientation and window choices utilize the position of the sun to enhance natural light inside the building and energy efficiency as well. View the natural prairie restoration project that forms the grounds of the headquarters site. Learn how the site collects rainwater and utilizes it for the building's water systems and how the company produces some of the energy needed to run the building through their on-site wind turbine. |
