Sota Construction Company Headquarters

The Sota Construction Services Inc. office building incorporates numerous sustainable approaches including: passive and very high efficiency active radiant slab heating and cooling systems served by geothermal heat pumps; natural ventilation systems; extensive use of natural materials such as straw bale and cob wall construction; reused and recycled materials; day lighting; rainwater harvesting; low water use fixtures; a roof-mounted photovoltaic system that provides over half the building’s energy; and sustainable landscaping. Ernie Sota, President of Sota Construction Services said, “Our project team used the LEED Rating system to systematically evaluate comprehensive approaches to sustainability. The result is a delightful, healthy and comfortable office that is full of daylight and wonderfully connected to the surrounding meadow and woods.” Marc Mondor, AIA, USGBC LEED Faculty, confirms the project team’s unique achievements, “This project shows that businesses can reduce their environmental footprint by creatively integrating traditional construction techniques and current technology. The design and construction team demonstrated that integrative design can produce compelling and cost effective high performance places.”
