Green Building Principles

While remaining true to the historic tone of Alexandria, Edmonson Plaza is also a model of forward-thinking sustainable design.  The following are just a few of the environmentally and energy friendly measures used to reduce the building’s impact on the environment and improve its operating efficiency:

• Enhanced air quality through material selection, construction measures and systems operation
• Green vegetative roof that will reduce the Building’s heat island effect on the environment and increase the building’s thermal efficiency
• Water saving methods and equipment
• Superior indoor environment by providing a high percentage of windows which will result in increased daylight and improved work conditions on the floor
• Smart growth measures such as close proximity to Metro, car and ridesharing programs, car pool/hybrid car parking spaces and public transportation discounts.
