City of Oakland LEED Gallery

The indoor finish materials of the Applied Biosystems building, including paints, carpet, and linoleum, have low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

The Oakland Airport Terminal 2 Renovation and Expansion Project will be among the first LEED Certified airport terminals in the United States.

Green building practices encourage waste reduction and recycling.

The Pleasanton Fire Station 4 site incorporates a series of low mounds and troughs called bioswales which keep rainwater on the site, eliminate runoff and increase groundwater infiltration.

Applied Biosystems purchased a renewable energy certificate for two years that guarantees that at least 50% of the electricity used by the building comes from renewable sources such as wind power.

In addition to the energy benefits from its passive solar design, 20% of the energy needs for the Pleasanton Fire Station 4 building are met by a 12.8 kW photovoltaic solar power system.
