  • Zoned heating and reduced temperatures
  • Improved lighting controls including motion detector activated lighting
  • Variable drive compressors installed, which use 10% of the energy of the original compressors
  • New roof with larger skylights installed, which allows more natural light
  • Reduced CO2 emissions by 25%
  • Reduced gas consumption by 55% and bills by 25%
  • Reduced electricity consumption by 14%

Waste
