Aside from making your vehicle research and purchase process as easy and enjoyable as possible, Northwest Honda is dedicated to sustainability.  Baltimore Magazine awarded us with the 2008 award for most sustainable car dealership.  Our new facility has several environmentally friendly features that earned us this award. We boast a state of the art Green Roof featuring approximately 60,000 drought and frost-resistant plants with a high carbon dioxide absorption rate and a high oxygen yield.  The soil for these plants also helps absorb run-off water which would usually enter the Chesapeake Bay watershed.  Our facility also utilizes used motor oil to help with heating.  We also have 87 insulated glass panels that help conserve energy.  Our lighting system uses energy efficient bulbs along with switches that are connected to motion sensors so if nobody is using a room the lights will turn off and energy will be conserved.  Our carwash uses reclaimed water to help conserve vital resources.  These are just a few things that Northwest Honda does to participate in the global community’s shared responsibility of energy conservation.
