Energy Conservation
Use Energy Responsibly
Your assistance toward our goal of conserving energy is important. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits of energy conservation, your efforts will result in lower building operating costs.
- Please turn your office lights off whenever you leave your office for a period of more than thirty minutes.
- Turn off computer equipment when not in use.
- Electricity consumed by lighting fixtures is the second highest component of our buildings’ total energy consumption (following HVAC-related use). Although most lights are controlled by motion sensors, turn off lighting in areas where it is not needed and when you leave for the day.
- Turn off appliances and machinery such as coffee-warmers, typewriters, and coffee pots when not in use.
- Control your window coverings to maintain your office temperature. Close blinds during periods of direct sunlight and when departing your office for the evening. Your office will remain more comfortable, particularly after a weekend, if you use your blinds to insulate/screen the window area.
Water Conservation
The property's most notable water-saving feature is the detention/retention pond. It collects rain water and re-uses and re-distributes it by means of the irrigation system. This reduces the need for City-provided water for irrigation purposes.
