• Reduced refrigerator and energy consumption by specifying automatic closing, sealed tight doors on all refrigerated displays. Grouped freezers and walk-in coolers in close proximity to each other in order to reduce the amount of piping that carries coolant as well as controlling coolant temperature loss. • Lowered water consumption by specifying low fl ow fi xtures and equipment and Energy Star appliances. Produce is manually watered in-

stead of relying on timed watering systems that typically overwater. • Sustainable waste, recycling and compost management is on a weigh system, educating and encouraging responsible waste habits and

setting goals to reduce reliance on landfi lls.• Incorporated natural lighting to the interiors by utilizing an open fl oor plan that allows daylight to penetrate into the space. Light shelves

were incorporated over areas where windows were partially blocked on the Northwest facing wall allowing indirect daylight to enter the interior.

• Specifyed shopping carts that are not constructed with permanent baskets, instead with child-safe hooks, promoting the use of reusable shopping bags and reducing shopping cart theft.

• Reduced packaging by designing a bulk shopping sytem allowing customers to purchase only what is needed, reducing waste.• Eliminated dependence on plastic bags by encouraging the use of only reusable bags.• Utilized organic in-store produce growing system, by designing an aquaponics area that uses 90% less water than traditional farming meth-

ods, and produces legumes that grow 3 times as fast!• Brought in natural elements, such as indoor gardens, to the interiors promoting healthy indoor air quality.• Utilized natural and sustainable materials by keeping existing fi nishes such as the wood fl ooring and exposed brick, and refurbishing existing

wooden book shelves for the use of new ceiling elements and custom millwork displays. • Promoted alternative transportation, by having bike racks conveniently located in front of market, and provided showers for employees

who bike to work. • Continuously educate the community on sustainable lifestyles and agriculture, through cooking classes, aquaponics, and interaction with

the knowledgeable staff.

Morey Mercantile Building History:• Chester C. Morey founded largest Mercantile business in the west (1884)• Built in 1896• Structure included a spice grinding mill, roasting plant, extract laboratory, and print shop for the adjacent Solitaire Grocery Store.• Morey Merchantile grew into an extremly large company and was sold to Continental Foods in 1956.• Later the fi rst fl oor was used as offi ces to market and produce the Solitaire Brand.• The second Floor was used by chefs to test recipes that were later published in a popular cookbook, The Solitaire High Altitude Cook-
