2021 Sustainable Innovation Awards
Merit: Energy/Operational Carbon Award
Coastline Equipment’s Long Beach HQ is the 22,800 SF official dealer and retail space for John Deere, Writgen, and Hitachi. Sustainability was embedded in early meeting and design phases with total buy-in from architects, engineers, and owners, who attended LEED Kick-Off Charrettes. As a commercial venture, ROI was deemed a deciding factor in which sustainability measures to implement. The modern and sustainable design of the HQ is all the more significant considering that the dealership provides educational resources and wields large influence in the construction industry. Energy and Sustainability Breakdown:
• Achieved 85% of Energy and Atmosphere and 60% of Water Efficiency LEED credits
