About
The Etsy HQ utilized multiple systems and building materials to reduce embodied carbon and emissions. The project "features wood that was invasive, salvaged, reused, or sourced from responsibly managed forests. Low-flow and flush fixtures help reduce water usage, while a 3,500-gallon rainwater tank supports the building’s extensive interior greenery program. High-efficiency light fixtures and daylight controls contribute to energy savings, and onsite and offsite solar arrays provide 100% of the building’s power from renewable sources."
