Arizona Game & Fish Department Headquarters
The Arizona Game & Fish Department Headquarters was designed as a full-service center to support research operations, vehicle maintenance, public assemblies, education instruction, department administration and customer service for residents in the State of Arizona. The result was a fully integrated, state-of-the-art LEED Platinum certified facility. Green Ideas implemented several sustainable strategies into the project, making it the first LEED Platinum level facility in Phoenix, and one of only four in Arizona. The building employs design features and technology that reduce the need for artificial light, help with temperature control, reduce exterior water usage through natural landscaping, and decrease interior water use via water-efficient plumbing fixtures. Among the features is a 189-kilowatt rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system that will generate an estimated 290,000 kWh annually, offsetting the equivalent of 208 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
