Tenant space long-term commitmentBuilding reuse maintain interiornonstructural elementsConstruction waste managementMaterials reuseMaterials reuse furniture &furnishingsRecycled contentCertified wood
This project had zero construction waste, which gave them 2pts towards this category, by sending carpets to be recycled. And also reusing old aluminum blinds from the existing building.
Since they downsized from a larger office they didnt need any new furniture or furnishing which added 3 more points. Everything else they had was donated.
