This is the second LEED® certified tower in Chicago, following 111 S. Wacker.
One South Dearborn includes a fitness center with showers (common in this type of building), probably not included just for bicycle commuters’ benefit, but accessible to them nonetheless.
Hines also uses a low-temperature (48ºF) HVAC system as standard on it buildings, contributing toward energy savings, and has a standard commissioning process used on all buildings.
The project includes the usual mix of low-VOC and recycled-content materials and claims a fairly high amount (41%) of regionally assembled materials. Other unusual features that don’t necessarily contribute to LEED® certification and may or may not be considered green (depending on the beholder) are ultraviolet air purification and a Filtrine drinking water system.
