To avoid the solar heat gains and concomitant expenditure of energy to cool interior spaces typical of traditional glass curtain walls and maintain the project's LEED Platinum objectives, Schliemann developed the first residential use of double-glass wall technology in the United States, a clear statement of the building's intentions to reach a new level of green innovation. The glass curtain wall uses environmentally friendly materials such as high-performing, low-e coating and tinting that contributes to the reduced solar heat gain.
