Sustainability

• 1700 Platte has provided 202 secure indoor bike racks for employees and 10 exterior bike racks for transient use along with locker rooms. By providing bike racks and changing facilities 1700 Platte encourages healthy and sustainable lifestyle choices.
• 1700 Platte uses 38 percent less water than a code-compliant building. This is an estimated 289,965 gallons of water saved annually and was accomplished using high efficient flush and flow fixtures such as 1.28 gallons-per-flush (GPF) toilets, 0.125 GPF urinals, 1.5 gallons-per-minute (GPM) showerheads, and 0.35 GPM public faucets.
• Through LED lighting, high performance glazing, and efficient HVAC systems, 1700 Platte has targeted an estimated 44 percent energy cost savings compared to a code-compliant building. The building also does not use refrigerants that deplete the ozone layer and has advanced metering systems to allow energy use to be monitored over time and allow for problems to be identified and corrected.
• More than 10 percent of 1700 Platte’s building materials were both extracted, processed, and manufactured within 500 miles of the site and contained recycled content. A recycling program has also been provided for tenants to encourage responsible waste diversion, including containers for batteries and mercury-containing products and devices.
• To ensure superior indoor air quality, 1700 Platte has chosen to use low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, flooring systems, composite wood and agrifiber products throughout the building. In addition, all composite wood and agrifiber products contain no added urea formaldehyde. This reduces indoor air contaminants that are odorous, irritating and/or harmful to the comfort and well-being of installers and occupants.
• 1700 Platte recognizes that natural light and exposure to views has a significant impact on productivity and therefore made sure at least 90 percent of tenant spaces have access to views.
