Pepper Canyon West aims to achieve LEED Gold certification with a full range of sustainability practices in design and operations. Low-flow fixtures and drought tolerant landscaping will save water, while green roofs will increase efficiency by removing heat from the air and reducing temperatures on the roof surfaces. The project also optimizes natural ventilation and daylight to reduce demand for mechanical ventilation and electricity and construction waste is reduced by fabricating some building elements off site., UC San Diego Receives $100 Million in State Funding for New Student Housing
