For instance, the glass enclosures on the building\u2019s north and south facades are recessed and shaded, while on the east and west sides, a series of fins protect the windows. These measures minimize heat gain, reduce the need for artificial cooling, and optimize daylighting. Rather than diverting stormwater runoff to municipal treatment facilities, onsite bioretention planters will absorb and treat 100 percent of the site\u2019s runoff, amounting to water savings of 523,395 gallons.
