"We were very fortunate to work with excellent architects and contractors who were committed to making our offices energy efficient and environmentally sustainable," says Michelle Kremer, Surfrider Foundation's chief operating officer. "Thanks to the team's hard work and shared vision, we were able to earn LEED gold certification."
The Surfrider Foundation global headquarters was designed by California-based LPA Inc. to achieve LEED certification for energy use, lighting, water and material use as well as incorporating a variety of other sustainable strategies. LEED certification External link of the headquarters was based on a number of green design and construction features that positively impact the project itself and the broader community including:
-Energy efficiency through automated lighting fixtures, natural daylight and task lighting -- which gives each employee control over the lighting setup of their workspace
-Use of recycled materials in carpet, furniture and hardware
-Water efficient fixtures throughout the building
- Natural ventilation and use of low emitting materials for optimum air quality.
- Reuse of furniture and building materials from the previous office; doors, frames, and hardware, for example, were reused as traditional swing doors, while other doors were converted into barn doors in flexible areas. Two other doors were laid on their faces and used as the surface of the reception desk.
"The green building movement offers an unprecedented opportunity to respond to the most important challenges of our time, including global climate change, dependence on non-sustainable and expensive sources of energy and threats to human health," said Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO & founding chair, U.S. Green Building Council. "The work of innovative building projects such as the Surfrider Foundation is a fundamental driving force in the green building movement."
