<p>Dedicated to contributing to a green-conscious community and a cleaner environment, W Hollywood is one of the largest LEED-compliant properties in the area and puts a new Hollywood glamour spin on sustainability.</p>

<h3>Key sustainable-design elements include:</h3>

<p>• Reduced heat island effect due to 100 percent covered parking.</p>

<p>• Reduced potable water usage with drought-tolerant plants and high-efficiency irrigation systems, which contributed to a 70 percent reduction in potable water usage.</p>

<p>• High-efficiency lavatories result in a 32 percent reduction in water use for the entire building.</p>

<p>• 24 percent of the building materials being locally manufactured.</p>
