Demonstration Features
One of the key goals of the project was to help educate our clients and community about sustainable building options and benefits. Numerous different products and systems were used to provide examples of as many approaches as possible. A3C has opened their rooftop meeting space, UrbEn Retreat to local municipal and non-profit groups. We also provide tours to local businesses and environmental groups interested in green design.
