Description
The entire 180-acre Preserve is a fantastic example of sustainable living, design and architecture with buildings which are amongst the most green in the nation. The Preserve shows people how to live in a desert environment and take advantage of what is available. Part of this project showcases a dual use concept. For example, the parking area is actually the roof of the reservoir and the shade structures in various areas are photovoltaic cells used to generate power for the site. The gardens
use a fleet of hydrogen powered utility vehicles which are refueled on site by a solar powered hydrogen fueling station.
