Have you driven down I-35 in Norman, past the new Marc Heitz Chevrolet lot? Well, you should.
This dealership boasts the cream of the crop in energy efficiency.
They’ve installed a wind generator! Ever saw a wind generator at a new car dealer? Me either! They plan on using the power generated from the wind system to power the LED lights signage. They’ve installed a high efficiently air conditioning system and used insulated glass on all the exterior walls.
Their landscaping includes over 370 trees and incorporates a rainwater cistern as its water source.
There are no solar panels on the building, at least not yet, that’s still in the planning stages. They’re also considering adding a Flex Fuel station.
Inside, they are installing a 40 foot waterfall that cascades into a 5000 gallon aquarium, outside, they are building an amphitheatre.
What else could they think of?
Well, they also included TWO dog parks (for the customers bringing their canine friends) and a huge playground for the kiddos!
Mark Heitz is certainly thinking outside the normal ‘car dealership’ box!
