Energy Conservation

Our Corporate Headquarters building was designed with energy conservation in mind. By capturing and storing energy from a variety of sources, the building reduces the amount of external energy required for its operation. For instance:

• An innovative heat-reclamation system recovers heat through the operation of special heat-recovery chillers that supply both chilled water for cooling and hot water for heating the building.
• A water storage system collects any excess heat generated during the day by the building and its occupants. In turn, the collected energy is used to warm the building the following morning.
• A gas-fired boiler plant provides supplemental heat during cold weather.
• Ivy planted on the building minimizes the building's solar heat gain in the summer and maximizes it in the winter.
