 Green Building Features
In December 1999, California Construction Link magazine awarded the new Cal/EPA building "Best of 1999 Awards--Outstanding Engineering." The award was for "innovation in air handling, window placement, and recycling, resulting in a 25-story office tower with significant energy savings over California’s stringent energy codes." Cal/EPA's home includes many environmentally sensitive features (PDF).

Public Artwork
For those of you planning a visit, be sure to view the custom-designed artwork of four prominent artists dedicated to demonstrating the integration of art and the environment throughout the building. The artwork was the result of a Sacramento City ordinance that required a certain percentage of capital improvement construction costs be allocated for public art.
