III. BURBANK
GREEN SPOTLIGHT AWARD PRESENTATION:
Ms. James announced that the November 2012 recipient of the
Burbank Green Spotlight Award is the Vander Borght Group and introduced Jef and
Kyle Vander Borght. The Vander Borghts provided a PowerPoint presentation
outlining the architecture and construction of the International Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employees’ (IATSE) office building located on Magnolia Boulevard
in Burbank. The
structure showcases the Vander Borght Group’s sustainability efforts to design
and build achievable "green projects” in a cost effective and practical
manner. The masonry building is constructed from recycled aggregates and
regional materials and ensures longevity through design quality. The structure
provides a variety of “green” features including double walls for maximum
insulation, a white “cool” roof, skylights, polished concrete flooring, solar
panels, natural interior lighting, subterranean irrigation, and drought
tolerant plant landscaping. The Commissioners congratulated Jef and Kyle Vander
Borght, and Mr. Lewis presented them with the Burbank Green Spotlight Award.
