Republic Services HeadquartersSunrise, Broward County, FloridaRepublic Services Inc. High Performance Characteristics Rainwater Harvesting: All rainwater is collected from the roof and stored in a 30,000 gal cistern. This water is used for all the project’s non-potable functions, including irrigation and toilet flushing. Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Array: Solar panels located on the building’s roof generate nearly 12% of the building’s electrical energy. Daylight Harvesting/Natural Daylighting: Skylights are located throughout the building. The amount of natural daylight available controls the dimming of artificial light fixtures and are only fully powered when sensors indicate that it is cloudy or night time. Water Efficient Fixtures: Building’s toilets, showers and faucets are efficient fixtures consuming 40% less water than standard fixtures. Recycled Building: Building reuses a former 65,000 sf bowling alley. PROJECT TEAM: Yoshino Architects, P.A.
