A D D I T I O N A L S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y I N I T I AT I V E S :
Almost every one of our products can be controlled by occupancy and photo
sensors that turn lights off when they are not required, thereby reducing energy
usage.
Our products are packaged in boxes made with post-consumer recycled content,
and we are transitioning all printed materials onto post-consumer recycled
content papers.
8% of our energy needs are met by non-polluting, renewable wind energy.

extended to our San Antonio headquarters.
SS Credit 1 – Site Selection – Farmland, wetlands, oodplains, and public parkland will not be affected since this is
an adaptive-use renovation in an urban setting.
Our building, once a picante sauce factory,
is in the process of being LEED “Silver”
certied.
Last year we completed the rst phase of
our renovation and were able to retain much
of the existing structure as well as install
low “E” insulated glass. As we approach
a LEED “Silver” rating, we will continue
to adopt each of the listed credits in the
upcoming months.
SS Credit 4.1 – Public Transportation Access – Building is within 1/4 mile of two bus stops.
SS Credit 4.3 & 4.4 – Alternative Transportation – Preferred parking spaces are provided for low emission or fuel
efcient vehicles while not increasing the lot size.
SS Credit 5.1 – Site Development – Land is either maintained or restored to native adapted landscape habitat on
more than 50% of the site.
SS Credit 5.2 – Site Development – While there is no municipal requirement for open space, this project provides
over 40% of open space.
MR 2.1 & 2.2 – Construction Waste Management – Plans are to divert 50% of disposal, minimizing landll waste and
increasing material re-use.
MR 3.1 & 3.2 – Materials Reuse – Existing furniture and doors were refurbished, reducing the demand for virgin
materials.
WAT E R E F F I C I E N C Y
WE 1 – Water Efcient Landscaping – Adapted or native plants are utilized and will be maintained with captured
non-potable water from onsite storage tank.
I N D O O R E N V I R O N M E N TA L Q U A L I T Y
EQ prerequisite 1 – Minimum IAQ Performance – Increased ventilation provides fresh air and oxygen to enhance
the comfort and productivity of occupants.
EQ prerequisite 2 – Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control – Company policy prohibits smoking in or around the
building.
SS Credit 6.1 – Stormwater Retention – Plans to convert existing 10,000 gallon storage tank will capture storm
run-off for irrigation and reduce load on city systems.
EQ 1 & 2 – Outdoor Air Delivery Monitoring – Plans to check the air ventilated to the outside against the air quality
inside will monitor the quality of air in the system.
Existing building: 51,348 square feet
SS Credit 7.2 – Heat Island Effect – Roof utilizes a reective solar membrane to reduce heat gained from the sun.
Property: 339,981 square feet
SS Credit 8 – Light Pollution Reduction – Exterior lighting was redesigned to minimize “sky glow” pollution and save
energy. Interior lighting timers ensure that light trespass through the windows is minimized at night.
EQ 3.1 – The IAQ Construction Management Plan – Separating partitions and special AC system lters are planned
to protect air quality and ensure the ongoing comfort and health of construction workers and building occupants.
BUILDING SIZE:
E N E R G Y & AT M O S P H E R E
EQ 4.2 – Low VOC Paints & Coatings – Low VOC paints & coatings reduce indoor air contaminants (i.e. Volatile
Organic Compounds).
EA prerequisite 1 – Fundamental Commissioning of Building Energy Systems – Building systems are tuned to
perform efciently, lowering energy use and building operating costs.
EQ 4.3 – Low-Emitting Carpet – “Greenlabel” carpet and recycled backing is utilized throughout the ofce to reduce
air contaminants.
EA prerequisite 2 – Minimum Energy Performance – The types of systems prescribed are efcient for both the
building and the user, decreasing the overall building cost while increasing user productivity.
EQ 5 – Indoor Chemical & Pollutant Source Control – Entry mats minimize exposure to hazardous air particulates
and chemical pollutants.
EA prerequisite 3 – Fundamental Refrigerant Management – AC systems were reworked to eliminate the use of CFC
refrigerants to protect the earth’s ozone layer.
EQ 6.1 – Controllability of Lighting – Dimmers, timers and motion sensors throughout the building reduce energy
and enable occupants to gauge the amount of light used.
EA 1 – Optimize Energy Performance – Beyond the minimum requirements, this credit optimizes energy used by the
building which in turn reduces the impact on the environment and operating costs.
EQ 7.1 – Thermally comfortable design – Additional systems planned for the assembly area will provide a
comfortable environment for building occupants and support productivity and well-being.
EA 2 – On-Site Renewable Energy – Planned 13 KW solar electric system will reduce 2.5% of annual energy cost
and fossil fuel use.
EQ Credit 8.1 & 8.2 – Daylighting in 75% of Spaces – Daylighting will be provided in 75% of the building to connect
the outside and inside and increase occupant’s comfort level.
EA 6 – Green Power – The company is enrolled in a local Windtricity program that provides energy from a renewable
source to lower pollution.
M AT E R I A L & R E S O U R C E S
MR prerequisite 1 – Storage and Collection of Recyclables – Centralized collection of metals, paper, glass,
corrugated cardboard and plastics reduces landll waste.
MR 1.1, 1.2 & MR 1.3 – Building Reuse – 95% of the existing structure and 50% of the interior was retained,
reducing landll waste and minimizing the environmental impact from new construction.
