- Net-positive water, capturing rainwater and treating it for all uses, including drinking.
- Innovative use of reclaimed materials, including wood from the sets of the TV shows and Tech Tower.
- 22 worst-in-class chemicals screened out of building materials to protect health.
- Toilets that turn human waste into safe compost onsite.
