The IN-NOVA.1 project is to be built, and refurbished if/when needed, with the idea of sustainability, cohesion, energy conservation, and a holistic sense of community in mind. All buildings will be green (Platinum LEED certified) using recycled materials. The project will work as a controlled environment with renewable energy sources, air filtration systems, maximum sunlight exposure and will incorporate the natural waterfront landscape on which it sits. The IN-NOVA.1 facility is to be a prime example of a self-sustaining, environmentally friendly design. The design is proposed to be a living building, constructed with green building materials, green roof, solar photovoltaic (PV) and other types of renewable applications, as well as providing drinking water and wastewater through rain and snow filtration. The building is expected to be self-reliant- only consuming resources available onsite, including EV charging stations. The heating/cooling, waste treatment and water usage facilities will be self-contained within the larger facility, in addition to the facility being able to create surplus energy, to be stored onsite for future use, or to be sold back to the community and/or the local distribution company (LDC). This sustainable design will be delivered by one of the most influential architectural firms in the world today. While the building entity itself will be self-sustaining, we will also encourage employees to live by the principles of sustainability and engage in energy conservation.
