SEATTLE (AP) — A charitable foundation getting ready to build its new Seattle headquarters wants to build the city’s greenest building ever.

The Bullitt Foundation is building the Cascadia Center for Sustainable Design and Construction. It would house the foundation’s headquarters as well as being a showcase for cutting-edge green engineering and architecture.

It’s expected to use less than a third of the electricity consumed by the average building and generate as much power as it consumes. It would rely almost exclusively on rain for its water. And it would treat and reuse on-site everything that’s flushed down its toilets and poured down its drains.
