Other Green Features
*Ground source HVAC system puts typical systems to shame, using only pumps, fans and water. According to the EPA, it is the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective system available.
*We have installed a Kone gearless traction Eco-disk elevator. The most energy-saving elevator available, it also requires no hydraulic fluid or oil.
*The courtyard at Elevation 314 serves not only as a beautiful space for residents to enjoy-- it is also a living stormwater management system. Every drop of rain on our property is directed to the Green Roof and the Bioretention areas of the courtyard. Thirsty trees and plants that benefit from pollutive elements filter water-borne pollution from the runoff before it is contributed (if any is at all, which is rare) to the city's storm system. Thus, the water contributed is clean, and comes well after the damaging first flush. ELEVATION 314 was the first building in Washington, DC to use a Green Roof as a working part of its SWM system, serving as a pilot for later projects.
