there must be significant reduction or
elimination of negative impacts in five areas:
water efficiency, energy efficiency and
renewable energy, conservation of materials
and resources, sustainable site planning, and
indoor environmental quality.

50 PERCENT LESS ENERGY CONSUMPTION THAN A
BUILDING OF COMPARABLE SIZE
43 PERCENT SAVING OF POTABLE WATER DEMANDS
98.5 PERCENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION WASTE FOR
THE PROJECT WAS DIVERTED FROM LANDFILL .

EVERY DOLLAR SAVED GOES BACK
INTO CANCER RESEARCH
