Summertown also followed sustainable practices during the project build in a bid to reduce the environmental impact of the ECA office and met LEED green building criteria. Besides the use of sustainable materials, water saving fixtures, and energy efficient atmospheric equipment was installed to improve the indoor air quality for the wellbeing of occupants, 100% LED lighting, and energy efficient appliances to reduce the carbon footprint of the building. Furthermore, ECA has incorporated segregated waste recycling as part of office policy to reduce waste. As a result, the ECA has been awarded Silver level LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
