Toyota Elephant Passage Sees the Light – Just one of many ways Denver Zoo looks to gain the "green" standard of LEED certification for Toyota Elephant Passage is with the use of natural light. Natural light through sky lights and windows decreases electric lighting use throughout the interior buildings of the exhibit. The zoo also utilizes Solatube®, an innovative system that reflects sunlight through tubing to provide natural, clean light into a space and can be found in six of the buildings inside Toyota Elephant Passage. Plus, UV rays drawn from natural daylight are important to the health of our animal collection. Click here to learn about other green initiatives in Toyota Elephant Passage.
