Portland’s TriMet transit garage is leading the way in transit sustainability and efficiency. To meet its goals of an all-electric, zero-emission fleet before 2040, it first needed to demolish, then rebuild and modernize, its entire 17-acre site, all while staying operational during the demolition and all three phases of construction.

The result was a sustainable, state-of-the-art facility. In addition to incorporating energy efficiency features, the building was also designed as a space where employees can do their best work.

Read the case study to learn how TriMet received help from Energy Trust of Oregon, including $81,000 in cash incentives, to hold a design meeting, offset the cost of critical energy modeling and bring its sustainability vision forward.
