Premier SIPs part of Bend Park & Rec's new eco building!

Bookmark and Share

After 41 years in the same building, the administrative building for the Bend Metro Parks and Recreation District moved into a more comfortable and greener facility in 2009. Premier SIPs is proud to have been part of this project aimed at minimizing impact on the environment, reducing energy costs and improving the customer's experience in registering for recreation programs, getting information on parks and trails, and attending public meetings. This new facility is designed to serve as the district office for the next 50 years.

What materials were used? Recycled materials used in the building include Premier's structural insulated panels, post-industrial recycled fiber cement siding, ceramic wall tile, casework laminate and carpeting. Energy is conserved with the use of solar hot water, radiant heated/cooled floors and energy efficient light fixtures. The building has a green "living" roof for exceptional insulation. Bioswales on the outside of the building will collect any storm water runoff so that polluted water is not returned to the river.

Why build green? Benefits include reducing operating costs, conservation of natural resources, optimizing the life-cycle of a building and improved occupant productivity. There is a higher initial cost in building a LEED certified building but that investment will be returned on energy savings within 10 years.
