| Renaissance Square in Phoenix honored by EPA The Phoenix office of Hines, the international real estate firm, announced that Renaissance Square's two buildings received Energy Star labels from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in recognition of exemplary energy conservation. With Energy Star scores of 90 and 89, respectively, One and Two Renaissance Square use over 40 percent less energy and emit 40 percent fewer carbon emissions than the buildings would if they were operating at the national average for energy performance. Therefore, together these buildings generate annually more than $1,200,000 in energy cost savings, and carbon emissions savings equivalent to the CO2 emissions from the electricity use of over 1,000 homes. Renaissance Square is located in the heart of Phoenix's CBD on a full-city block. The property is comprised of two towers connected by a pedestrian sky bridge: One Renaissance Square, which contains 26 stories and 492, 116 square feet; and Two Renaissance Square, which contains 28 stories and 473, 392 square feet. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
