I appreciate the \u2018Green\u2019 initiatives, and how the building is environmentally conscious.\u201d \u2013Office, Denver<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do not put a value on green\/sustainable designations. If the building we select has one, great, but it is not on our \u2018needs\u2019 list when searching for a location.\u201d \u2013Jacksonville, Fla.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think much extra can be done to improve the building experience unless the building is demolished and a larger, more LEED-friendly facility is built.\u201d \u2013Office, Austin, Texas<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInterior lighting should have been converted years ago to more energy efficient lighting, to still be using T-12 bulbs is a shame.\u201d \u2013Office, Southfield, Mich.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe green pest control is not very effective. There are live spiders, roaches, and crickets in the building.\u201d \u2013Office, Austin, Texas<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would LOVE a recycling program! It pains us to throw away items that can be recycled or deal with the hassle of carting it home.\u201d \u2013Office, San Antonio<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstall electronic car chargers to promote a cleaner environment by reducing emissions and reducing air pollution. Offer car wash services.\u201d \u2013Medical Office, Miami<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll sustainability initiatives are very important and anything that can be done to contribute to saving our environment for future generations is commendable.\u201d \u2013Office, Encino, Calif.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m all about helping the environment where we can. Although, as a small business, I am not interested in having to pay additional costs that would be incurred to implement any of these programs.\u201d \u2013Retail, Atlanta<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSustainability initiatives are important, but should mesh with business interests, not hinder or detract from work activities.\u201d \u2013Office, Mesa, Ariz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny investment in responsible sustainability can create a healthier and more efficient environment, not counting the savings. I have respiratory issues, and clean energy and environment is a plus for me.\u201d \u2013Industrial, Charlotte, N.C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that today, sustainability initiatives are expected \u2013 they have become the norm, and we see it in action with the current management. I suppose that if they did nothing, that might be a problem.\u201d \u2013Office, Portland, Ore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take pride in the fact that we are occupying a LEED certified building. It aligns with our corporate goals of being environmentally friendly.\u201d \u2013Industrial, Des Moines, Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe work independently with a company to pick up our recyclable materials and the company repurposes them. We are VERY committed to the environment and waste that is destroying our Earth. We donate large sums of money to support these causes as well.\u201d \u2013Retail, Lake Forest, Ill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to workplace sustainability, what do tenants really want and what could they do without?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":745,"featured_media":1004267672,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23891,21742,21785],"tags":[35043],"class_list":["post-1004270225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","category-latest","category-property-management","tag-kingsley-associates"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Going Green at the Office: Yay or Nay?
