Download Green Ideas Project Profile
4000 Masthead is a 101,660 SF single tenant building
occupied by the U.S. Forest Service and operated and
managed by Asset Management Solutions (AMS) of New
Mexico. AMS manages over 1,000,000 SF of Office, Retail
and Industrial properties, including two other LEED for
Existing Buildings projects on Masthead Street. The building
employs design features and technology that significantly
reduce energy consumption, help with temperature
control, reduce exterior water usage through native and
adaptive landscaping, and decrease interior water use via
low-flow plumbing fixtures. Energy efficiency measures
include occupancy sensors, T-5 fluorescent lamps, water
source heat pumps, and energy recovery ventilators which
contributed towards the project achieving LEED-EB Gold
level certification and an ENERGY STAR Performance
Rating of 98.
