This allowed for the preservation of 53 percent of the site area. In addition to this open green space, the project also features more than 90,000 square feet of rooftop gardens. These are filled with native wildflowers and perennials that collect and treat rainwater runoff in bioswales. Solar heat gain and glare are avoided through the concrete sunshade overhangs. The campus has a dedicated shuttle service, transit service, an on-site bicycle parking and bicycle repair shop, as well as two miles of on-site walking and bicycling paths.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>VMware \u2013 Phase 4 \u2013 Palo Alto, Calif.<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004439301\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004439301\" data-attachment-id=\"1004439301\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/top-10-leed-certified-buildings-in-california-in-2019\/01-best-green-vmware-htg-form4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3560,2670\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;11&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;John Sutton&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D810&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1559312661&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;John Sutton       00 1 707 894 2100&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"01 Best Green VMware HTG Form4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Image courtesy of Form4 Architecture&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?w=1024\" class=\"wp-image-1004439301 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg 3560w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=768,576 768w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=1024,768 1024w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=1536,1152 1536w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=2048,1536 2048w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=150,113 150w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=696,522 696w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=1068,801 1068w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=1920,1440 1920w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=560,420 560w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=80,60 80w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/05\/01-Best-Green-VMware-HTG-Form4.jpg?resize=265,198 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1004439301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">VMware. <em>Image courtesy of Form4 Architecture<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Two of VMware\u2019s other buildings won the LEED Platinum certification with a scorecard of 83 score points each.
