5.3.2.3.3. Future Measures can be taken to make the final leap to a perfect score. The first of these is to work in conjunction with local agencies to improve their recycling capabilities. If infrastructure is updated to accept certain materials that are currently un-recyclable, then further waste can be diverted from landfills. In addition, RMZ Corp. can improve their waste score by implementing programs that more closely track performance in the different offices of their building. This would allow them to better pinpoint areas that need further training, increasing total waste diversion across the facility.
5.3.2.4. Transportation 5.3.2.4.1. Arc Integration As the buildings housed approximately 10,000 occupants, the project team had to facilitate, catalogue, and upload approximately 1,100 survey responses. The project team tackled this challenge through a variety of means. First, they sat down with tenants and their HR teams to explain the purpose of the survey, stressing the benefits it would provide to all occupants.

They then encouraged HR teams to send the surveys via email to their employees, offering raffle incentives, such as free movie tickets, to those who filled it out. The project team was able to get survey results from close to 15% of occupants. Once all the results were calculated, RMZ Ecoworld earned a weighted Transportation score 12/14 on transportation. This was thanks to a location that was highly central to public transportation, and the propensity for many workers to use pooled transportation.
