Overview
The industrial park goes eco, in the city's first response to Mayor Daley's stated hope for an eco-industrial compound. The landscape company's facility has two ‘bars,' one for office use and the other for warehousing, both laid out east-west for best energy performance; geothermal heating, raised-floor displacement ventilation and additional green details. Outside, rainwater cisterns, rooftop trees and other items express the structure's low-resource approach.
