Walnut Creek Wetland Center - Floor Plan
- Floor Plan
- Natural Air Circulation
The central entry breezeway and main circulation areas of the building are covered, open-air walkways. This allows them to be used as passageways throughout the building while eliminating the need to use excess energy for heating and cooling. - Paint and Carpet
The paint, stains and other applications contain a small amount of VOC (volatile organic compounds) and the carpets are made of recycled materials with low VOC adhesives as well. - Low Flow Plumbing Fixtures
The urinals in the building are waterless and the toilets have a very low gallons per flush for their water usage. This saves a great deal of water since this is a public building whose restrooms will be used frequently.
