EcoCentre, The Living Building

Be Green? Be Environmentally Conscious?

Worthwhile goals. But how about just Socially Responsible? As attorneys, we have the privilege and responsibility to uphold the law and improve to the lives of our clients and fellow citizens. We do this, but it’s not enough.

As leaders in our communities, we believe that we also have the responsibility to effect change for the good of society, and that we need to lead by example. This is how the idea of building EcoCentre, the "Living Building" was borne.

"I was having a meal with a friend a few years ago and was asked whether I was environmentally responsible, and I said 'yes, I am', but I had never really given it much thought until that day that I was asked. I realized it's not enough to just recycle, not litter, and love the outdoors. Businesses and community leaders need to enhance the environment. This is how the vision for the EcoCentre, the Living Building started." -John Romano

Our new office building, EcoCentre, the Living Building, is not just a "green building." It is actually a "living building" that incorporates natural ”living” systems and “green” technologies designed to save energy, reduce CO2 emissions, water consumption and create an overall healthier environment. The project is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council and will seek Gold L.E.E.D. certification, a procedure demonstrating that the project has been planned, designed, and completed with a primary goal of environmental enhancement.

The building’s unique feature is its water saving technology. Its Living Machine®, a technological innovation which allows for the on-site purification and recycling of water, will treat gray water from the building occupants (sinks and showers) and re-use it for irrigation, further reducing potable water consumption in the building. In addition, rainwater from the rooftop will be collected in an 8000-gallon cistern and re-used for flushing toilets, and air-conditioning condensate becomes the source of fish pond water which is used to irrigate interior landscaping.

The environmentally friendly 33,000-square-foot office building is located in downtown Lake Worth, Florida, on the site that served as the home of Dr. Randolph Romano's (John Romano's father) medical practice from 1957 to 1991. It now serves as the offices of the Romano Law Group.
