Sustainability

Grand Prize - Standalone

Fixtures Living South Coast Collection, Costa Mesa, Calif.

Serving customers looking to green their homes, this store is built to LEED Silver standards with energy efficiency beyond Title 24. Benchmarks include Energy Star labels on more than 90 percent of equipment, construction waste diversion of more than 75 percent, and water use reduction of 30 percent. Graywater from fixture displays is reused, and daylighting incorporates eight skylights, glare-minimizing glazing, and lighting controls and occupancy sensors. Graphics touting sustainable product offerings are themselves made with recycled content and low VOCs, while a “Greenius” quiz educates customers about sustainable store features. Multidisciplinary collaboration from the initial ecocharrette enabled completion in ten months, and a post-occupancy employee survey will identify any necessary adjustments to mechanical systems.
