The 186-mixed-use community spreads between Lower Makefield Township and Middletown Township and was purchased in December 2006. Since then Matrix has been working with government agencies and township leaders to develop the community. Lower Bucks Pediatrics acquired the medical building upon completion, in 2011.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cFrom the beginning, Lower Bucks Pediatrics was determined to make this an energy-efficient property, which is in line with Matrix\u2019s own commitment to sustainable development practices. Ultimately we were able to identify a solution to deliver a dynamic facility that is environmentally responsible while providing Lower Bucks Pediatrics with significant cost savings on energy consumption,&#8221; said Richard F.X. Johnson, senior vice president of Matrix Development Group, in a press release by the company.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The facility\u2019s advanced HVAC system design will allow the owners to save at least 35 percent in energy costs compared to the USGBC baseline, while efficient low-flow fixtures and additional thermal comfort controls will result in a 30 percent reduction in water use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.multihousingnews.com\/news\/market-snapshot-abandoned-projects-see-new-life-as-vacancy-in-philadelphia-trends-downward\/1004063207.html\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/a> for more market data from Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Image via Citybizlist<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification to a 12,000-square-foot medical office building owned by Lower Bucks Pediatrics, a family-oriented pediatric medical practice in Bucks County, Pa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":258,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21742,1494],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004057876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest","category-philadelphia"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
