The new Sunnyvale City Hall is a building for the future. It will:
- Be the first LEED Platinum certified and Net Zero Energy city hall in the country
- Improve access to and delivery of City services
- Be an active gathering place and resource for the community
- Serve as a model for sustainability and lessen our impact on the environment
- Iconify Sunnyvale as the Heart of Silicon Valley
City Hall Sustainability Features:
The building was to achieve LEED Platinum certification. This is the highest green building rating. The U.S. Green Building Council confirms and issues the LEED certification. The all-electric building will also be Net Zero Energy. This means it will generate as much energy as it uses. Sunnyvale will track the energy the building generates and uses for a year to confirm Net Zero Energy status.
Thank you to our Chapter Meeting Sponsor, KPFF!
