As part of the side-core design, the building\u2019s plan shifts the building\u2019s core\u2014usually considered the elevators, staircases, and piping\u2014to the interior side of the convex-shaped structure.<\/p>\n<p>Both the main vertical\/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from concrete, which is cast-in-place and utilizes steel reinforcement bars and\/or steel reinforced concrete, which has been precast as individual components and assembled on-site.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the three-block master plan, all owned by Skanska USA, this building is designed by the architect, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). The 34,374 m<sup>2<\/sup> (370,000 sf) office tower offers panoramic views of the park, almost bringing it into the building.<\/p>\n<p>The all-concrete structure is claimed by Skanksa to be Houston\u2019s most sustainable building. The Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) tool was used to account for sustainability throughout this project. The building aims to achieve 60 percent lower embodied carbon than typical buildings, with the use of less carbon-intensive cement. It targets WELL Building Standard and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) platinum V4 (focused on core and shell) certification. It also targets ENERGY STAR rating with characteristics such as 32 percent less energy use, district cooling, demand control ventilation, energy recovery unit, regenerative elevators, a 181,700-liter (48,000-gallon) rainwater collection tank, daylight harvesting, and motion detection in garage.<\/p>\n<p>For occupant health and wellbeing, the building aims to target Fitwel three-star rating, with the air exchange in the building having the capacity to reach 100 percent in an hour, while the building also promises 30 percent fresher air than a typical building. Further, bipolar ionization and air filtration will reduce the presence of airborne pathogens inside the building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1550 on the Green, facing
