Southern California Edison comments:
This LEED Gold project is very resource conscious, featuring a park irrigated with captured rainwater & gray water and energy usage 25% better than Title 24 Energy Code. Significant attention was paid to equity and enhanced accessibility, with one of the most prominent features of the project being a Grand stair which encourages activity and gathering.
