The Madrona Offices designed by award winning architecture firm, Weber Thompson will feature a number of sustainable amenities including:

  • Building orientation and optimized glazing. This will facilitate passive solar heating and passive cooling.
  • Exterior-mounted, automated blinds. This will also contribute to passive cooling reducing energy costs.
  • Natural ventilation. No mechanical cooling.
  • Maximize natural daylight. The building orientation and optimized glazing will maximize natural light providing better overall lighting quality and reducing electricity costs.
  • High-efficiency radiant heating
  • Air-source heat pump . This  can potentially save approximately 70% savings in heating cost, as compared to the national average heating cost
  • Photovoltaic system that contributes to electricity savings
  • Ultra low-flow plumbing fixtures can potentially result in a  50% savings in water/sewer bills
  • Rainwater harvesting for irrigation will reduce water bills
  • Green roof to assist with passive cooling and reduce rainwater runoff
