Sustainability
As one of Arizona State University’s six Innovation Zones, ASU Research Park supports the efforts of ASU’s sustainability programs. The Research Park has implemented several water-saving features, including timed irrigation, light controls and timers for its exterior landscape. The facility managers for the buildings in the Park have implemented several operational practices to ensure the buildings take advantage of the newest sustainability practices, these include: EMS, recycling, solar energy, LED lighting upgrades, automobile charging stations, energy efficient HVAC systems, lighting sensors, upgraded low E glass and a general practice of conservation and energy efficient building.
In addition to the efforts put forth by the Park tenants and management, AdvancED (previously North Central Association) is LEED BD+C: New Construction v2 – LEED 2.1 Gold Certified.
