1) Invest during Phase I in a water recycling system due to the extensive amount of animal habitat cleaning and the overriding importance of water conservation in the desert.2) Design a photovoltaic system to handle up to 30% of the buildings energy loads using available roof area and parking structure shading devices but do so in a manner that would allow it to be added at a future date. This resulted in the roof and electrical systems being designed to accept the future system.Given this overall green building strategy, the project as currently designed without PV’s would qualify as Silver. With the full PV design, the project would be Gold bordering on Platinum.
