Optima Camelview Village is the only multi-family development in Scottsdale applying for Leadership and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. LEED provides a complete framework for assessing building performance and meeting sustainability goals. Based on well-founded scientific standards, LEED emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor air quality.

Optima Camelview Village focuses on distinctive architectural features that have required the need for production and use of CAD-detailed drawings for the entire project. It has also provided Kinetics an opportunity for creative HVAC applications in virtually each residence and on all floors of the buildings under construction. Because none of the 704 rooms have the same design and the project is being constructed in three phases on various floors in a relatively confined area, Kinetics created a delivery system, known as the ÒKineticart,Ó to ensure efficiency and accuracy throughout the construction process. Each Kineticart, which is delivered to the specific work area on the job site, contains everything needed for the individual roomsÕ HVAC systems, including supply and return duct, exhaust systems, taps for air distribution and all other components needed to complete the individual HVAC systems.
