Patriot Place is committed to environmentally responsible and sustainable design practices
Adjacent to Gillette Stadium is Patriot Place a 1.3 million sq. ft. super regional lifestyle destination. Slated to open in the fall of 2008, Patriot Place is committed to continuing the environmentally responsible and sustainable design practices that began with Gillette Stadium. Numerous sustainable design initiatives were included in the Patriot Place project, including:
Site Design and Planning
The project was largely developed over existing parking lots – resulting in only a 2 percent increase in disturbed area. Natural resource areas impacts were avoided
Building Performance/Energy Efficiency
White roofs on all buildings facilitate Heat Island Reduction – all Roofing has a high Solar Reflectance Index Energy management systems are included in the commercial buildings
Materials and Resources
Use of low emitting materials (adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, carpet systems, composite woods, laminate adhesives, furniture, seating) No CFC based refrigerants All material from excavation and regrading reused on site as fill Energy efficient lights used throughout development. ENERGY STAR equipment and appliances were selected when possible.
Trash Removal and Recycling
Space for recycling materials provided Patriot Place is using Big Belly Solar Compactors, the world’s first on site solar powered, trash receptacles that reduce electricity consumption and waste volume
Transportation Demand Management Measures
Sidewalk and pedestrian promenade areas promote pedestrian access Bicycle racks encourage alternate means of transportation A public transportation study is underway (2008) to evaluate the feasibility of expanding public transit
Sustainable Project Operations
Diesel driven equipment will be run on bio diesel fuel. On site wastewater treatment plant and irrigation well Water reuse in toilets throughout project Vendor and internal policies to reduce packaging Use of “green” and recycled cleaning and paper products
