So instead I am including a video written, narrated and edited by Michael Werner:

And here are some facts you'll learn about when you watch the video.
At $55 per square feet, the construction costs of this building was $18 (and a half) million.
This is the first toxic-free office building.
The building is considered a "living building" and mirrors the natural world or a Seattle of the distant past.
Some features include the daylight feature (lighting the building through natural light), a 6-story compost toilet.
Solar panels, water collected on the panels and sent through a filter system with end result as drinkable water.
Energy efficient.
The solar panels generate 230,000 kilowatts per year.
The pioneering building acts as a prototype for green office buildings elsewhere and in our future.
