Welcome to the virtual tour of our Washington, DC office located at 1850 M Street, NW, in Washington, DC, which we moved into on June 23, 2006!
Through extensive planning and many months spent working with builders, designers, Associates and our own in-house crew of experts, the Alliance completed significant improvements and renovations at the new 17,995 square foot space. Our team specifically designed the new office space to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI) Silver certification. This US Green Building Council (USGBC) designation allows the Alliance to showcase its commitment to environmental and energy sustainability, proving once again that we don’t simply ‘talk the talk’ when it comes to energy efficiency.
LEED-CI gives the power to make sustainable choices to tenants and designers, who do not always have control over whole building operations. The certification process addresses performance areas including: selection of sustainable tenant space; efficiency of water usage; optimizing energy performance including lighting and lighting controls; utilization of resources including demolition and re-use of existing materials, use of energy-efficient products, and; overall indoor environmental quality including comprehensive emissions criteria.
Pursuing LEED-CI status would not have been possible without the participation, generosity, and support of our Associates. We would like to thank each of the following for their time, knowledge and contributions, without which, the comfort and sustainability of our new home would be greatly diminished.
