Join DVGBC Delaware Chapter as we tour the the Science and Technology Lodge in Hockessin, DE, which has been awarded the Platinum Certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), making it the first building in Delaware to attain this top rating.

The Science and Technology Lodge was designed by the Philadelphia-based firm ReVision Architecture and built by Wilmington-based SC&A Construction. The Lodge has over two dozen energy efficient and environmentally sensitive features, including:

1. Designed to operate 50 percent more efficiently than a standard code compliant base building
2. Engineered to reduce carbon dioxide emissions roughly equal to a passenger car traveling 40,000 miles per year, through the action of a 12 kilowatt array of photovoltaic (PV) roof panels
3. Reduces water usage by 40 percent, due in part to “dual flush” toilets, which use less water for liquids and more for solids, and through automatically timed showers and faucets
4. Produces hot water for faucets and showers via solar thermal panels
5. Modulates lighting through a daylight harvesting system, which adjusts light brightness according to the level of ambient sunlight
6. Utilizes “dual flush” toilets, which use less water for liquids and more for solids
7. Reduces pollution in part through interior paints, coatings, sealants, and adhesives made with low Volatile Organic Compounds, and through the incorporation of a green cleaning plan
8. Maximizes energy conservation through highly insulated roof panels and soy-based spray foam in walls and floors that provides high thermal resistance and minimizes air infiltration, among other approaches.
