Energy Conservation and Recycling

Energy Conservation

This building is LEED-EB Platinum Certified and Energy Star rated.

LEED Platinum is the highest level of certification which can be bestowed by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED-EB stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Existing Building.

Energy Star rating means that our building performs with better energy efficiency than 75% of the comparable buildings in the area. We are very proud of our certifications and they requires us to maintain and operate this building in accordance with the most stringent environmental and sustainability standards.

Among other things, Tenants in LEED buildings can expect their space is cleaned using green certified chemicals and equipment, stocked with recycled paper products, and that their waste is recycled to the maximum extent possible. They can expect the HVAC systems in the buildings utilize HEPA filtration and that annual professional inspections are conducted on indoor air quality.

LEED also means that our tenants must fully embrace sustainable initiatives within their own organizations and participate in recycling programs and sustainable purchasing policies (Energy Star labeled equipment and recycled content office supplies)
