Our work was instrumental in earning LEED points including most of the possible points for LEED NC 2.2 credit EA1, both EQ 1 and EQ 2, all 10 points for EAc1 and EAc4.ĭont throw away this chance to learn how we helped Sound Transit get a move on. We also found an expensive heat recovery system had an LCCA payback of over 40 years, and it was removed from the final design. The scope of the current smaller project (now called South Transfer Station 2) has been reduced to include the remediation of the South Park Landfill (required under a Consent Decree), minimal operational improvements, and a path along 5th Avenue S to mitigate the street vacation at the South Transfer Station.

Our energy model helped the client select a trash compactor that provided a 35% increase in efficiency. The Seattle transfer stations are open from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, 7 days a week. Innovative systems include natural ventilation on the tipping floor and heat harvesting from the trash compactor. From early in planning, we provided input on potential designs and their impact on energy performance, as well as energy modeling and LCCA analysis. Our transfer stations serve as public drop-off locations for materials to be hauled and processed at nearby compost or recycling facilities. The new, 138,000 sf South Transfer Station is LEED Gold certified, and FSi is proud to have played a key role in its LEED certification.
