The following are some of the sustainable design and construction features of this project:

• The Landscape Plan was intentionally designed with native and adapted Georgia vegetation and efficient irrigation techniques, resulting in a 35% reduction of outdoor water use.
• The amount of parking allocated for this building does not exceed local code minimums and is a 47% reduction from standard parking rates laid out by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. This is beneficial because it results in more efficient land use and less land devoted to environmentally detrimental asphalt.
• The site and building were designed to minimize the urban heat island effect and the heat gain that results from it. The use of asphalt was kept to a minimum, abundant vegetation was planted, and a reflective white roof with a very high Solar Reflectance Index of 98 (out of 100) was installed.
• Northwood Extra Space Storage recycles! Adequate storage bins are located within the facility that accommodate the collection of paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and metal. These recyclables are collected and stored in a discrete location in order to facilitate convenient and hygienic waste practices.
• Through the use of energy efficient lighting, lighting controls and HVAC systems, as well as solar panels on the roof, this facility is able to reduce its energy usage by 49%. The solar panels on the roof offset approximately 28% of the facility’s energy usage.
• During the construction of this building, great efforts were made to ensure the air quality would be of the highest level upon opening. Dirt and dust were minimized during construction, ductwork was sealed prior to operation, products used had low VOC content, and construction tasks were scheduled in a way that maintained the cleanest indoor environment possible.
• The plumbing fixtures in this building use less water per flush and per minute than standard code required fixtures. Low flush toilets and low flow faucets result in a 20% reduction of indoor water use for the building.

This building has many sustainable design features and has achieved LEED Certification. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. LEED was created in 1993 by the US Green Building and is the most widely used green building rating system in the world.

 The following are some of the sustainable design and construction features of this project:

•  42% of all building materials that went into this project were composed of recycled content, greatly reducing the amount of virgin materials that would have needed to be extracted, transported, and manufactured.
• The plumbing fixtures in this building use less water per flush and per minute than standard code required fixtures. Low flush toilets and low flow faucets result in a 22% reduction of indoor water use.
• In an effort to reduce transportation emissions, 9% of parking spots are reserved for carpool parking and 9% are reserved for low-emitting, fuel efficient, and green vehicles.
• Through the use of energy efficient lighting, lighting controls and HVAC systems, this facility is able to reduce its energy usage on average by 57%.
• Hollywood Extra Space Storage recycles! Adequate storage bins are located within the facility that accommodate the collection of paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and metal. These recyclables are collected and stored in a discrete location in order to facilitate convenient and hygienic waste practices.
• Hollywood Extra Space Storage is located within ¼ mile of a bus stop, providing for more sustainable transportation methods for employees and building users.
• The project is also located in a neighborhood with more than 10 different uses within ½ mile, allowing for employees and building users to run errands without using their cars.
• Smoking is prohibited within 25 feet of any building entry, outdoor air intake, and operable windows, protecting the indoor air quality and health of building occupants.
• Fundamental and enhanced commissioning were both performed, providing  3^rd party verification that all MEP systems were designed and installed correctly to avoid any inefficiencies or malfunctions.

 The following are some of the sustainable design and construction features of this project:

• The Landscape Plan was intentionally designed with native and adapted Georgia vegetation and efficient irrigation techniques, resulting in a 66% reduction of outdoor water use.
• The site and building were designed to minimize the urban heat island effect and the heat gain that results from it. The use of asphalt was kept to a minimum, abundant vegetation was planted, and a reflective white roof with a very high Solar Reflectance Index of 98 (out of 100) was installed.
• Woodstock Extra Space Storage recycles! Adequate storage bins are located within the facility that accommodate the collection of paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and metal. These recyclables are collected and stored in a discrete location in order to facilitate convenient and hygienic waste practices.
• Through the use of energy efficient lighting, lighting controls and HVAC systems, as well as solar panels on the roof, this facility is able to reduce its energy usage by 61%. The solar panels on the roof offset approximately 41% of the facility’s energy usage.
• During the construction of this building, great efforts were made to ensure the air quality would be of the highest level upon opening. Dirt and dust were minimized during construction, ductwork was sealed prior to operation, products used had low VOC content, and construction tasks were scheduled in a way that maintained the cleanest indoor environment possible.
• The plumbing fixtures in this building use less water per flush and per minute than standard code required fixtures. Low flush toilets and low flow faucets result in a 31% reduction of indoor water use for the building.
• This site is within 1/2 mile walking distance of 10 different community uses, meaning that building occupants are more likely to be able to go about their daily life without using their car.
