CARMAN aligns its dedication to enhancing and conserving the natural world with the core mission of the U.S. Green Building Council LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program.

Rainwater and HVAC condensate harvesting, automated drip irrigation.
Use of local, sustainable, and recycled materials.
Innovative wastewater methods, including constructed wetlands.
Water-efficient landscaping, especially native plants.
Permeable pavements, notably stone-based pavers for stormwater infiltration.
Energy reduction via optimal building siting.
Improved stormwater quality through bioswales, rain gardens, and infiltration basins.
Minimized heat island effect and runoff via green roofs.
Open space preservation through efficient site design.
Enhanced alternative transit via pedestrian links, mass transit, and biking.
Parking for carpooling, EVs, and fuel-efficient vehicles.
