WHAT IS AN ECORESORT?
EARTH ELEMENT: Biomimicry
•29 acres of dune habitat created & restored(90% of site above high tide)
•Less than 1.5 acres of area not native vegetative cover
Secondary DuneFore Dune Dune Wetlands
EARTH ELEMENT : Targeted Habitats
Over 6.5 acres of dedicated habitat for sensitive species
1.9 ac Snowy Plover3.2 ac Smith BlueButterfly
1.4 acMonterey SpineFlower
EARTH ELEMENT: Form & Function
Waves, Wind, & Change
Architectural forms evocative of naturaldune formations.
Integrate structure with site
Nutrient & Waste Stream systems placedwhere processes naturally occur on site
EARTH ELEMENT : A Living Approach
5 acres of living roofs supporting native species
Impervious surfaces reduced to 4%
Living roof habitat Vegetated fire lane
WATER ELEMENT: Reduce & Reuse•No potable water used for irrigation•Unused rain & treated water feed wetlands & aquifer•47% reduction in water demand over prior proposal
•Zero Stormwater Runoff•Less than 5% of the site is impervious•Biological Treatment Systems
WATER ELEMENT: Low Impact
320 days of direct sunshine/yearEnergy Savings of over 20%
Benefits to Occupants
LIGHT ELEMENT: Natural Daylighting
Solar panels
Vegetated Trellis
Movable Shades
Solar photovoltaic panelsintegrated into the
architecture capture energyand shade day-lit interiors
Solar hot water heating
LIGHT ELEMENT: Solar Energy
Solar panels on living roof
ENERGY ELEMENT: Reducing Fossil Fuel
Over 50% reduction in fossil fuel consumptionOver 30% energy production from alternative fuels
ENERGY ELEMENT: Energy Diversity
•Maximize passiveenergy use: day-lighting and ventilation
•Maximize insulation
•Mechanicalsystems adapt toconditions
•Generate energyon-site
•“Smart” BuildingTechnology
•Geothermal heat pumps useearth as heat sink•Wind supplies 20% of electricitydemand•Sun Power: Photovoltaics &Solar Water Heating
ENERGY ELEMENT: On-Site Power
