Is the Taube-Koret Campus for Jewish Life being developed as a “sustainable” project?
The Taube-Koret Campus for Jewish Life has made sustainability a high priority and is proud to be planning a project in which a wide range of sustainability issues are being addressed. While some believe that sustainability, or “green” building, focuses primarily on energy savings and conservation, that important issue is just one of a wide range of elements that contribute toward making a project sustainable. We have summarized our approach to sustainable strategies on topics ranging from site development, sedimentation and erosion control, to brownfield development, alternative transportation, stormwater management, light pollution reduction, solar orientation studies, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, recycling and waste management, facilities maintenance, environmentally-friendly building materials, indoor environmental quality, and seismic and building life in a “green paper” that can be accessed in PDF format.
