Esplanade III, a Class A property located in the Camelback Corridor of Phoenix, is proud to announce the recent achievement of the Energy Star Label. Earning the Energy Star distinguishes our property as one of the top 25% in the nation in terms of energy performance and environmental leadership.
Owned by AEW Capital Management and managed by CB Richard Ellis, our team's hard work and innovative ideas have paid off with the success of significantly reducing energy consumption and will continue to pay off with the future implementation of energy conservation strategies.
Our primary focus in realizing optimal energy reduction results has been to first ensure the education of the property management and engineering staff, and then to educate the tenants of the building. Spreading the word to our tenants and raising energy conservation awareness makes all occupants of the buildings part of our team and allows them to take part by implementing energy saving tools and practices in the course of their business.
Secondly, by redefining our maintenance and operations procedures as well as upgrading to energy efficient equipment, we have attained substantial savings. One of the most popular upgrades, with proven savings for office buildings of this size, is lighting. At Esplanade III we have gone to great lengths to outfit light fixtures throughout the property with low wattage bulbs. From the elevators (18 to 9 watts) to the to the lobby domes (26 to 9 watts), we achieve the same bright light at a fraction of the cost. Additionally, tenant spaces have been converted to high efficiency lighting (32 to 28 watts), motion sensors have been installed in all restrooms, and lighting timers were installed in the janitor closets.
Here in the Valley of the Sun, HVAC usage plays a big part in energy consumption. By providing air conditioning only during regular business hours, adjusting temperature set points and limiting after-hours usage by request only, we are able to manage electricity usage and eliminate energy waste. Furthermore, regular preventative maintenance is a key factor in ensuring that all systems continue to operate efficiently. All cooling tower fans have variable speed drives, which eliminates the fans running at full speed and saves energy by activating the fans based on current temperatures.
Future plans for Esplanade III include occupant sensors on all construction for new tenants; installing lighting controllers that are compatible with our EMS system that will allow for lighting schedules on all floors and will prevent tenant suites from being lit unnecessarily; upgrading tenant suite lighting with Ultra Max ballasts and 28 watt bulbs; installing motion sensors in elevator lobbies and stairwells and retrofitting the parking garage with T5 light fixtures.
Having the ENERGY STAR label and our plaque proudly displayed in the building lobby is only the beginning. By tracking our energy consumption each month through EPA's Portfolio Manager we are able to stay on top of our savings and maintain control of actual energy usage at Esplanade III. Through ongoing training, we continue to look for new ways to save, stay current on new technology, and stay on the cutting edge of energy conservation. At Esplanade III we're saving energy while maintaining occupant comfort and making a testament to protecting the environment for future generations.
