Oakland, CA - StopWaste.Org, a leader in developing environmental solid waste management and resource programs, is going the extra “green” mile with their newly renovated LEED® office building.

For more than 20 years they have been dedicated to reducing waste in Alameda County so it was only fitting when it came time for a new office space that they create a workplace that embodies their mission. The building, located at 1537 Webster Street, went from a dilapidated 80-year old building to a beautiful, environmentally responsible, and healthy workplace. In order to showcase all of the hard work that was put into the renovation of their building, StopWaste.Org called upon Quality Attributes Software to create a customized GreenTouchscreen® kiosk.

The GreenTouchscreen® kiosk will be placed in the building and the content posted on the web to serve as a teaching tool designed to motivate and inspire others to implement green building practices and sustainability. Viewers can learn all about the importance of building green, renewable energy practices and the LEED® rating system along with a LEED® checklist and a green features map, which tells all about the building’s green aspects. The kiosk also monitors and displays the building’s real-time energy consumption with live data gauges and graphs showing the building’s energy use compared to that of a typical building.

“After all the hard work that went into developing a LEED® Platinum office building, we look forward to having the GreenTouchscreen® kiosk help us monitor the building’s energy and water usage so that not only can we show the general public how efficiently our building utilizes natural resources, but also allows us to ensure the systems are working according to specifications.” Meri Soll, Program Manager, Green Building in Alameda County (a program of StopWaste.Org)

StopWaste.Org is the Alameda County Waste Management Authority and the Alameda County Source Reduction and Recycling Board operating as one public agency.
