• Energy efficient light-emitting diode (LED) lighting in the freezer cases that generate minimal heat and use 50 percent less electricity than traditional fluorescent fixtures
• Motion-sensor lighting on freezers and coolers to conserve energy when no one is present
• More than 200 skylights and an improved daylight harvesting/ skylight system that reduces consumption even more than in previous installations
• Closed loop CO2 secondary refrigeration system in the freezer cases and a closed loop secondary glycol system in the chilled food/beverage areas that significantly reduce conventional refrigerant charge and greenhouse gas impact and uses fewer materials such as copper piping
• On-site water treatments such as:
- bio-swale that removes sediment from water before it enters the storm water sewer system,
- storm sewer inlet that allows for debris to fall out before entering the storm water treatment inlet which removes oil and pollutants remaining in the storm water prior to entering the retention pond located in the back of the club.
- above ground two tank system to harvest rainwater from the roof of the building to irrigate landscaping via a drip irrigation system and to provide water needed by the cooling tower serving the refrigeration system, and
- on-site car wash that can reclaim approximately 60 percent of the water used. (Car washes actually use less water than washing vehicles at home.)
• Rainwater harvesting from portion of rooftop to supplement landscape irrigation and club cooling system
• Recycling services for tires, batteries, cardboard, single-use cameras, food waste, plastic waste and building materials
The Conventional Plaza property will be updated to be more cost-efficient and reduce life cycle cost. Things to be implemented are:
- Skylighting
- Bathroom products that use less water
- Updated Heating/AC systems
- The Indoor Environmental Quality will be improved; increased ventilation and moisture control
