Parkhill, Smith & Cooper is one of the few buildings in Lubbock that is LEED certified! It's amazing how well they are able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by working with the surrounding environment. For example, they only used items that came from a 500 mile radius to reduce their carbon footprint, and were clever with their irrigation techniques which is important in the dry Lubbock climate.
This was when several of the LEED qualifications were being explained to us.
This helps with keeping the grass in place and with irrigation. Also, you can park on this!
The space is open and airy to provide natural light, and incorporates plenty of foliage.
The green text shows that the building is LEED certified!
This shows the plans for the green roof and how it is LEED certified.
The coolest part of the building was the green roof! It shows that green roofs are possible even in Lubbock.
