Case Study 6: Washington Public Utilities Districts Association
Among the goals for the new headquarters for the Washington Public Utility Districts Association (WPUDA) was to enhance their public image as a good steward of both their financial resources and the environment, and broaden its leadership role in these areas by demonstrating that prudent, sustainable design is “practical thinking” and not “fringe thinking”. The home of Washington's 27 Public Utility Districts, the WPUDA achieved this goal and more with their new headquarters earning the LEED Platinum rating, the first in the State of Washington. The key design element for the project is the treatment of scale. Numerous innovative features were required to earn LEED Platinum, the highest available green building design rating, such as solar power, glass, water, heat island reduction, natural light, no off gassing and heating and cooling agents.
