Sustainable Features

• The building in which the Region 6 Office is located has received the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED^® for Building Operations and Maintenance (version 4) certification in November 2020.
• The building is located in a dense urban area with easy access to basic services and alternative transportation options, including rail and bus. This strategic location reduces the environmental impacts of transportation, such as air pollution, and provides occupants with a convenient alternative to single-occupancy vehicles to go to and from work.
• The EPA Region 6 Office uses LED lighting to reduce lighting power usage 36 percent below ASHRAE 90.1-2013 code requirements and employs daylighting controls and occupancy sensors to reduce energy consumption.
• The EPA Region 6 Office uses high-efficiency water fixtures, which helps the office space achieve a 35 percent reduction in water use compared to conventional fixtures.
• The EPA Region 6 Office incorporates multiple strategies to reduce indoor air contamination and improve occupant health and well-being. Low-emitting materials were selected for the office space to reduce odorous and irritating air contaminants. Also, the air delivery systems were configured to provide outdoor air to spaces above and beyond the code-required minimums, which improves indoor air quality.
• The building was awarded ENERGY STAR® certifications annually from 2008 through 2020, and most recently in 2022 with a score of 75.
