Heifer Report
Last Friday we visited the headquarters of Heifer International in Little Rock, Arkansas. Because of the construction and materials used, the building uses 52% less energy than a conventional building of the same size. Heifer uses graywater, rainwater captured in a collection tower, to supply non-consumable water. The windows allow the staff to work in natural light. Sensors adjust the lighting based on the darkness outside.
In 2007 Heifers Headquarters achieved the highest “Green Building” rating possible.
Next week I’ll review the visit to Heifer Ranch.
