 
BlakeDrucker Architects inherently sustainable design
is quantified in this comparison of piping systems.
On the left is a typical plumbing layout for the UCSF
Health Sciences Instructional Research (HSIR) towers.
On the right Blake-Drucker’s design incorporates
these plumbing runs, to systematically layout the laboratory,
thereby requiring 47% less linear feet of plumbing pipe,
and earning the project USGBC LEED design innovation
