The Treehouse Receives Double LEED Platinum - Highest Level In Texas

In addition, The Treehouse received LEED ID+C: (Commercial Interiors) Platinum Level with a score of 80 points.

 

The two-story building, constructed by Anslow Bryant Construction LTD., evokes a sophisticated, modern day treehouse. Sustainable design strategies for the project include a geothermal cooling and heating system, daylight harvesting for lighting adjustments, solar panels, rainwater collection for landscaping and a rooftop garden. Energy efficient measures reduce the building energy costs to nearly 50 percent of a baseline office building. The water efficiency features work to reduce irrigation requirements by almost 70 percent, which resulted in an innovative technology credit award by the USGBC.
