  1. By: Chloe P. Kagi F. Sally L. Roxanne M. Science

  2. The Cowan's decided to start an eco-friendly business because it is the right thing to do and it appeals to the environment.

  3. Materials used… • Leed light: it saves a lot of energy, it controls the temperature. • Cork flooring: its renewable, and it comes from the bark off of trees. Reduces the sound of noise, durable. • Concrete countertop: Eco-friendly, made from bottles, concrete, safety glass, coins, and bolts.

  4. Materials used.. (continued) • Construction: constructed from steel, little wood. It is long lasting, renewable and the leftover was recycled. • Parking lot: the parking lot was made of concrete. It was used because it doesn’t get hot like asphalt and it reflects light.

  5. Atmosphere and Energy.. • The Cowan’s tire business gets its heating from the waste oil form cars that they’ve worked on.. • RECYCLED OIL • Stones – lizard friendly environment

  6. It took the Cowan’s.. a year to build the building, and their still not finished.

  7. Recycled material that was used.. • There was a certain amount of dry wall, and the ceiling and the floor both are renewable. • When the building is knocked down it can be recycled, it all came from North Carolina.

  8. Recycled material that was used.. (continued) • Oil waste is used for heat. There is a system that filters the used oil and its used to heat the building

  9. Of the five buildings they have owned.. This one is the first and only Eco-friendly building – but all the buildings that were used can still be put to use.
