- ... that upon its completion, the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center had the largest sloped green roof in the United States? Source: https://www.lordaecksargent.com/assets/news_releases/GEHC_GrnStrategies_fnl_e.pdf Quote: "A 40,000-square-foot green roof – one of the largest in the Southeast and the largest sloped green roof installation in the United States"
- ALT1: ... that the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center is designed to use 75 percent less potable water than a typical building of the same size? Source: https://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/12083-the-gwinnett-environmental-and-heritage-center Quote: "Embodying the principles of conservation, the GEHC is projected to use 75 percent less potable water and 35 percent less energy than a conventional building of the same size."
- ALT2: ... that the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center was built over a dry ravine that was turned into a man-made stream that functions as a horizontal cooling tower? Source: https://www.gwinnettcounty.com/web/gwinnett/departments/communityservices/parksandrecreation/ourparksandfacilities/guidetoyourparks/gwinnettenvironmentalandheritagecenter/greenbuildingtechnologies Quote: "An innovative water feature was created using a formerly dry ravine, reducing site disturbance during construction. Not only stunning to look at, the water feature also functions as a horizontal cooling tower, playing an integral part in heating and cooling the building."

5x expanded by Aoidh (talk). Self-nominated at 14:47, 17 August 2022 (UTC).
392 characters before expansion, now at 6191 which "just barely" makes this eligable with an expansion of 15.79x. Earwig gives 20% which mostly consists of names. All hooks in the article and no prose issues. ALT0 is interesting, ALT1 a bit, but ALT2 has two "that"s which IMO kills the flow, so ALT0 preferred over others. ~StyyxTalk? 01:52, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Aoidh: is there a source for ALT0 that isn't a press release from the architecture firm? I wouldn't consider that a reliable source under WP:ABOUTSELF... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 04:03, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron: There are two other sources that were in the article that I added to that statement to support the claim, this design magazine and this article from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. - Aoidh (talk) 07:31, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
