Goal 1: Save energy and improve sustainability.

  • Measure: The energy saved in dollars each quarter.
  • Targets:

minimally acceptable value: The expenditure of energy (electricity bill) is reduced by 10%.

desired / target value: The expenditure of energy (electricity bill) is reduced by 30%.

  • Strategies:

-Replace regular glass in windows on the south side of the building with translucent solar glass. The energy stored in the solar glass will be used for the electricity consumption of the building itself.

- Use a new roof that combines green roof and solar energy to reduce the heat island effect and store energy.

-Make windows as large as possible to increase natural light and reduce energy consumption.

Goal 2: Use sustainable materials for construction instead of traditional materials to decrese carbon emission.

  • Measure: The percentage of sustainable materials we used among all materials.
  • Targets:

minimally acceptable value: At least 30% of construction materials have been changed into green and sustainable materials.

desired / target value: Up to 70% of construction materials have been changed into green and sustainable materials.

  • Strategies:

-Use new construction material styles like Cross-Laminated timber or bamboo timber.

-Use recycled materials from local used buildings.

-Following federal environmental and energy guidelines and LEED handbook to conduct service and purchase products.

Goal 3: Improve the utilization rate of buildings.

  • Measure: The percentage of sustainable materials we used among all materials.
  • Targets: The number of times people come to the building each month.

minimally acceptable value: People come here at least once a month.

desired / target value: People come at least three times a month.

  • Strategies:

-Create meaningful community activities, such as limited-time special exhibitions and gaming activities.

-Beautify the green gardens around the building so that people are willing to take a leisurely walk.

-Provide discounts and exemptions, such as ticket discounts.

-Create unique coffee shops and trendy dining.
