\"\"<\/a>Would cleaning a\u00a0busy office property\u00a0earlier in the day really make a\u00a0measurable\u00a0difference in energy consumption? And even if it did, how would tenants react to such an initiative? Would\u00a0it inconvenience them?<\/p>\n

In spite of these concerns, we decided to give daytime cleaning a try at 10 and 120 South Riverside Plaza\u00a0\u2013\u00a0a\u00a01.4 million-square-foot,\u00a0multi-building office complex built in the late 1960s in Chicago. Our innovative project represented the first multi-tenant office property\u00a0in Chicago\u00a0to implement a daytime cleaning program. Although the costs of launching and maintaining the program were minimal, the results were impressive.<\/p>\n

As the program name implies, we started cleaning the buildings earlier in the workday, which enabled us to turn off the lights several hours earlier. We quickly discovered that daytime cleaning was an effective way to\u00a0reduce energy consumption and promote sustainability, without inconveniencing our tenants.<\/p>\n

In fact, many tenants appreciated their\u00a0lower utility bills, and those who value sustainability were enthusiastic about supporting a program that reduces carbon dioxide emissions. Other benefits included\u00a0enhanced communication between cleaning service providers and tenants, which contributed to overall\u00a0improvement in service quality.\u00a0See below a short video that chronicles our efforts.<\/p>\n
