The Audubon Center Debs Park is the National Audubon Society's first nature center in California to be constructed from the ground up using enviornmentally sensitive design techniques. It is also the first building in the U.S. to achieve the Platinum rating under version 2 of the U.S. Green Buildign Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED(R) Rating System. The Center is operated entirely off-grid, using only power generated on site. It is expected to use only 25,000 kWh of energy each year (around five kWh per square foot). The Center is designed to use 70% less water than a comprable conventional building, and to treat all wastewater on site. More than 50% of the building materials were maufactured locally, and more than 97% of construction debris was recycled. The National Audubon Society plans to build a thousand urban facilities around the country by 2020.
