Caring for the Planet is Part of Doing Business

Conserving Resources with State-of-the-Art Facilities
Reducing Your Waste and Energy Costs
Sustainable operations are a cornerstone of our industrial portfolio. When we evaluate our properties, we take a critical look at our carbon footprint and seek opportunities to implement more efficient, cost-effective measures. We’re constantly working to incorporate sustainability features like:
- Hybrid car parking, carpool parking and bicycle storage
- “Cool” white PVC and TPO roofs that lower energy costs and aid stormwater management
- Water-conserving irrigation systems and plumbing
- Native, drought-tolerant landscaping plants
- Energy-efficient lighting
- Skylights and clerestory windows that enable natural ventilation and minimize glare and solar heat gain
- HVAC/ Thermostat Upgrades
- Mechanical systems and HVAC / thermostat upgrades
- Motion-sensitive lighting sensors
- Low-emitting sealants, adhesives and carpeting
