The next time you visit the Kettler Capitals Iceplex, take a moment to look around and appreciate some of the building's eco-friendly features. From greenbuildingsNYC.com:
Kettler Capitals Iceplex, which opened last November, offers two NHL-size ice rinks and offices and a training and conditioning center for the Capitals, who lease the $42 million facility from Arlington County. Built on top of an existing seven-story parking garage in Arlington, the complex was designed to a LEED Certified level but never registered with USGBC in order to pursue the rating.The roof of the structure is a white EPDM membrane, the building incorporates a variety of recycled materials, including rubber skate tile and carpet backing, and natural light penetrates into a full ninety percent of spaces that are regularly occupied within the interior.
