City of Houston's Green Building Resource Center is now open!

Code Enforcement’s Green Building Resource Center: The building itself demonstrates green building technologies and is registered to achieve LEED for Commercial Interiors.  A 250 gallon raintank collects water from the roof drain line.  A moisture sensor in a planter controls the irrigation.  If it is dry, and the run is out, a timer will start he solar powered pump to water the plants in the reclaimed planters.
