IKEA Store Model

On our way through Denver Colorado this summer, we stopped at the IKEA store to pick up some items for my daughter's new dorm room.

There was a large interactive model in the lobby showing all the energy saving and 'green' features of the building.

The model had several plaques along the side that lit up and corresponded to a portion of the model that also lit up.

The plaque topics included:

Solar photovoltaic electricity

Geothermal heating and cooling

Water conservation and management

Goods transport and flat packaging

Waste management

LED lighting and energy conservation

Here is a picture of yours truly on the left, my daughter Carolyn center and my wife on the right.  The exterior sign can be seen through the window.  We left with a shopping cart full of items for my daughter's new dorm room.
