260 Homer is a new 5-story, mixed-use office and residential project with a steel structure over concrete podium. The building includes a parking structure with 3 levels above grade and two levels subterranean. The first 2 above grade levels consist of commercial office space and the third level features 4 residential units.
Sustainable features include:
- Stormwater Design - Using Best Management Practices, 90% of the average annual rainfall will be captured and treated using a Vortex System. Vortex valves imitate systems found in nature to control water flows.
- Reducing Heat Island Effect - Roofing materials with a high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) are designed to reduce the heat island effect of the roof. An innovation in design credit will be achieved by placing 100% of the parking underground.
- Tenant Design & Construction - TI information will be provided to tenants who will enable them to coordinate their space design and construction with the LEED Core & Shell systems. Additionally, information is provided for LEED for Commercial Interiors and how the current LEED-CS building attributes can contribute to achieving LEED-CI credits.
- Water Efficiency - 50% of the potable water consumption for landscape irrigation will be reduced by selecting drought tolerant plantings and using high efficiency irrigation fixtures. Potable water consumption in the building will be reduced by more than 30%.
- Energy Efficiency - building total energy use will be supplemented through solar photovoltaic cells installed on the roof. 70% of the building's electricity will be purchased from offsite Renewable Energy Credits (REC's) sources for a minimum of two-years.
- Materials & Resources - 95% of the construction and demolition debris will be recycled or salvaged. Materials will be used with recycled content such that the percent recycled constituted 10% (based on cost) of the total materials used.
- Ventilation - Outside air ventilation rates have been increased by 30% above the minimum rates required to introduce more fresh air into the building.
- Low-Emitting Materials - All adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, composite wood, and agrifiber products will have low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) to increase the quality of indoor air.
- Thermal Comfort Controls - Individual comfort controllability will be provided for 50% of the building occupants in order to suit individual task needs and preferences.
- Views of the Outdoors - Greater than 90% of regularly occupied spaces will have a direct line of sight to the outdoor environment.
