The developer, Gerding/Edlen, was the first to achieve a top "platinum" rating under the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. Platinum LEED The Casey has earned almost 50 LEED points (Platinum certification requires at least 52 points). The Casey included an eco-roof for storm water management with photovoltaic panels that would generate energy for common-area spaces. Other energy-saving features include: • Water-efficient appliances. • Obtaining a Flexcar on the site for alternative transportation. • Specifying efficient and appropriate glazing (on windows) to reduce heat and glare. • Ground-source heating and cooling. • Efficient skin and curtain-wall design. • Operable windows throughout the building in residential areas as well as retail. The building sits just north of the Brewery Blocks. Going east to west, the building would connect the northwest district neighborhood across Interstate 405 to the Pearl District. Roger Jones, the owner of the property, named the building after his father Casey Jones.
