Located in suburban Lake Oswego, OR, Kruse Woods II is a 4-story commercial office buildng whose tenants include, among others, accounting firms, banking operations, and financial advisors. The building, constructed in 1988, is owned and managed by Shorenstein Realty Services. Recognizing the potential to improve Kruse Woods II's energy and financial performance, Shorenstein turned to the proven strategy of EPA's ENERGY STAR program in 2008 for the tools and resources necessary to help achieve superior energy performance.
As a first step, the Shorenstein management team sought to assess Kruse Woods II's baseline energy performance and to pursue the efficiency gains that could be accomplished through improved operations and maintenance and other low-cost practices. Initial benchmarking in 2008 using the EPA's Portfolio Manager returned a baseline rating of 85, high enough to earn the ENERGY STAR.
A complete recaulking and sealing of the brick facade was completed in 2009 to restore the appearance and integrity of the building envelope, which also contributes to the energy efficiency of the building.
Because Kruse Woods II is part of a large, suburban office campus, landscaped areas are prevalent. Shorenstein has begun the process of eliminating large landscaped areas that require consistent irrigation and are transforming them into native plant gardens or landscaping that requires only minimal irrigation.
