LEED

The LEED Pro, LLC is our LEED Consultant for this project. We decided a long time ago that we were going to make a commitment to green building and we have. When we complete Watermill Ateliers, we hope to achieve LEED Platinum status under the LEED for New Construction rating system. We are shooting for 53 out of 69 points. The project will be 42% more efficient than a comparable base case structure, and save over 100,000 gallons of water each year. The parking lot is made of crushed pea stone so as to allow for storm water drainage and filtering as well as eliminating any heat island effect. Every main area of the project will have direct views to the outside and 97% will receive direct sunlight. We have also dug wells to utilize a geoexchanger for heating and cooling. These are just some of the ways in which Watermill Ateliers will be better for the environment and the health and happiness of its occupants.
