Toyota Motor Sales
Toyota Motor Sales installed a reflective cool roof, high-efficiency insulation and thermally insulated glass at its headquarters in Torrance. The building's design maximizes use of natural daytime lighting and exceeds California's tough building standards by 58.6%. At 624,000 sq. ft., it is the largest privately developed office building to receive the LEED™ gold certification. The project also incorporates a photovoltaic solar electric rooftop systems and numerous green building measures.
"Every decision along the way also had to make good business sense and fall within budget guidelines," said Robert Pitts, Toyota Group Vice President for Administrative Services. "We wanted to show that building an environmentally sensitive office complex does not have to be limited to small or unique projects or ones with inflated budgets."
