Weatherford Center is a 12-story, Class A office building located in Houston, TX. The building, constructed in 1980, is managed by Wells Real Estate and is a property of Wells Real Estate Funds (Wells), a national purchaser and manager of Class A office buildings across the United States. As an ENERGY STAR partner, Wells is committed to continuously improving its sustainable practices to create exceptional environments for tenants.

 

Weatherford Center has been awarded the prestigious ENERGY STAR label for 3 years in a row (2007, 2008, and 2009). Energy-saving measures featured at Weatherford Center include upgrading faucet aerators in restroom sinks to 0.5 gpm, installing automatic flush valves in the restrooms, and upgrading 40 percent of the irrigation system from conventional spray heads to a drip system, all to reduce water usage. Wells Real Estate has installed new high-efficiency cooling towers, chilled water pumps, and chillers, all with variable-speed drives, to provide a significant reduction in electrical consumption required to air condition the building.

 

When Weatherford Center first achieved the ENERGY STAR for superior energy performance in 2007, it had a rating of 75. With ongoing energy-saving initiatives and operational improvements, Weatherford Center has improved its energy performance score by 15 points. With the recent central plant upgrade, Wells Real Estate expects to realize additional energy savings that will improve the ENERGY STAR score further.
