- Utilizing automatic towel dispensers in bathrooms to cut down on waste<\/li>\n \t
- Utilizing auto-shut off sinks to reduce water usage<\/li>\n \t
- Using more efficient T8 light bulbs in the building to cut energy usage and disengaging some office light bulbs to reduce energy consumption.<\/li>\n \t
- Winter 2009 - replace chiller with a more environmentally-friendly model that will use less energy.<\/li>\n \t
- Recycling batteries\/toner cartridges<\/li>\n \t
- Dual-flush toilets throughout the facility - reducing water usage when possible<\/li>\n \t
- In-Room Recycling stations<\/li>\n \t
- Tenants in the facility have worked on sustainability plans to reduce, reuse and recycle more in their areas!<\/li>\n \t
