Project Database
DVGBC's Green Project Directory will help you find regional examples of building projects that have incorporated sustainable elements, such as vegetative "green" roofs, or have completed whole-building certifications, such as the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program or the US Green Building Council's LEED rating system (see USGBC LEED directory).
The Green Project Directory is for the community and by the community; anyone can submit a regional green building project if they wish to let others know about their leadership. We encourage all types of commercial and residential projects to be submitted. The more projects registered here, the more we can showcase our region's progress and offer examples to others in the Delaware Valley and beyond.
This searchable directory will help you find green buildings or projects in your own locality; search by type of building—you can even search by project element if you're only interested in projects that use a particular feature, such as a geothermal well system or lighting controls. We hope these projects help you to connect with the resources you might need for your own work, and to inspire you to action.
Below you can filter projects by keywords. To select multiple keywords in the same category, hold down Ctrl or Apple and click.
Cambria Office - Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's second green office building, Cambria, has more green features and a higher level of environmental awareness than PA DEP's first building—the South Central Regional Office Building. This 36,000 ft2 facility, designed for approximately 125 occupants, has collected data and documented many facets of its green design initiatives.
151 South Warner Road, Wayne, PA
Liberty’s unique redevelopment of a 20-year old building reused 50% of the original building—structural steel and floor plates—while using 20-percent recycled content in the materials used to reconstruct and expand the property by 6,000 square feet. This massive green renovation included installing energy efficient light fixtures, larger windows and higher ceiling heights to provide more natural light to the interior, as well as using highly efficient HVAC systems to reduce the building’s overall energy consumption as compared to a typical building of this size.
330 Fellowship Road, Mt. Laurel, NJ
In 2007 Liberty demolished two obsolete, single-story buildings to create a 4-story, 104,000 square foot, Class A office building. This adaptive reuse of a well situated site included keeping over 98% of the construction waste out of landfills by recycling it onsite during construction, enlarging windows to increase interior natural daylight, reducing energy use, reducing water usage by 30% with waterless urinals, lower-flow showerheads and sensor controlled faucets, and using CO2 sensors on the HVAC system to refresh spaces with fresh air for occupant’s comfort and well being.
