The concrete floors that are providing heating and cooling for the building will add another efficiency to the project. Much of the public space in the building will be polished concrete. Rather than put tiles (which would last a while, but use energy), or carpet (which would wear out very quickly under the heavy use of our public spaces), we're polishing the concrete.
Where carpet would have to be replaced every two or three years, the concrete in the floors will have to be replaced.....oh.......never. That will save The Community Foundation a lot of money over the life of the building and provide an attractive, durable floor.
