AHATS Sustainable Development
The Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS) recently held a three and half day sustainability
charrette. This charrette included a number of experts on LEED, sustainable design, and
engineering. Some of the sustainable ideas included creating a LEED platinum development,
generating electricity onsite with wind and/or solar, creating a district heating system, and
possibly using this site as a model site for other similar installations around the country.
