At 3,028 gross square feet, 3rd Federal Bank's Woodhaven branch represents the bank’s first effort towards LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, designed to highlight the bank’s overall commitment to living green. Some of the major sustainability features incorporated into the branch include:  Building Materials: Recycled materials, regionally available materials which reduce the energy impact of shipping and rapid renewable resources such as bamboo flooring;  Lighting: Energy-efficient fluorescent lighting and motion sensors which turn off lights when rooms are not occupied;  HVAC: Carbon monoxide sensors to ensure fresh air, as well as high performance air handling units and filters;  Plumbing: Low-flow plumbing fixtures such as dual flush toilets and sensor controlled sinks to cut down on water usage;  Building Design: Natural light through high clerestory windows and interior glass walls;  Site Design: Rain gardens for storm water management and designated parking for fuel-efficient/low carbon emitting vehicles;  Construction: Measures such as the use of waste management to divert recyclable materials from landfills;  Landscaping: Indigenous and drought-resistant planting materials which do not require an irrigation system. To become a Silver-level LEED-certified building, the Woodhaven Branch of 3rd Federal Bank will meet at least 50 of the possible 110 points required for LEED certification, designed to rate potential environmental impact.
