Here, the coffers were prefabricated to speed construction and reduce cost. Water Consumption The estimated average daily use is 1,037 gallons per day or 35 gallons per day per person. This is in the low to normal range for a building of this type. However, when more people are in the building (such as when court is in session), the water use levels approach the low range. In conjunction with the project, the municipality entered into a long-term agreement with the local electrical utility to purchase sufficient green power to offset the building’s electrical use, net of any excess energy generated on site and fed back into the grid. A 20 kW photovoltaic array produces between 1,000 and 3,000 kWh per month, offsetting between 2% and 7% of the building’s monthly electricity consumption. It is producing electricity in amounts consistent with design predictions. 28 HigH Performing david glasofer Financing and Investment The building is sited in the township’s primary commercial district as an anchor for the district’s redevelopment.
