Top Ten Facts
10. KIB has been designated with a “gold” certification by the US Green Building Council. It is the first civic nonprofit in Indiana to achieve this status.
9. KIB’s integrated strategies such as its HVAC, its numerous efficient windows, dual light switches and white reflective roof have reduced its energy needs by at least 25%.
8. Despite Indiana’s many cold and gray days, the white reflective roof reduces KIB’s energy use by 12.5% compared to the traditional roof the building once had.
7. Because of its green strategies, KIB will save at least $7,500 annually on its utility bills.
6. KIB’s pervious pavement parking lot, two rain gardens, native landscape and stormwater-capturing cistern keep nearly half (270,000 gallons) of the stormwater that falls onsite from entering the city’s combined sewer system. Stormwater carries pollutants into our sources of drinking water, and contributes to numerous dumps of raw sewage into White River each year.
5. Keeping stormwater from being treated saves taxpayer money! By cleaning and keeping 42% of its stormwater on its 0.9 acre site, KIB helps taxpayers avoid more than $2,000 in stormwater treatment costs each year.
4. Waterless urinals help KIB avoid using 7,000 gallons or more of city water annually, saving KIB money and conserving a valuable natural resource.
3. By harvesting natural daylight through plentiful views to the outdoors, KIB staff rarely need full lighting inside their offices, and often need no lighting at all.
2. KIB’s bike racks and shower facilities make it possible for several staff to ride to work on their bicycles, reducing their carbon footprints daily, and increasing their physical fitness!
1. KIB has educated more than 3,000 enthusiasts about its green building and grounds. Tours are scheduled for the public the first Monday of each month at 4 p.m. Group tours, by appointment, often can be accommodated. Register by calling 317-264-7555, ext. 100.
