While implementing many standard green building features, such as rainwater collection and reuse, extensive day lighting, building with recycled and reclaimed building materials and
components, low VOC paints and adhesives, rapidly renewable resources, energy efficient systems etc., we also employ waste heat reuse, significant thermal storage, climate control
that is delivered in the form of efficient and effective radiant heat and cooling. Independence Station is going above and beyond normal green development. Using a unique co-generation
system fueled by American farm raised oils and ethanol, large thermal storage, solar heating and solar PV with enough high tech batteries to run a submarine, Independence Station will
not be dependent on the local power grid. We have the ability to be fully off-grid for extended periods of time, providing safety and security for our residents, business owners and
customers. We also have an alternative energy research center that will partner with Oregon State University to always be working on solutions for our future. Oregon has a long tradition
as a land of pioneers. With Independence Station, that tradition continues.
