2829 Townsgate Road is a Kilroy Realty Corporation property located in Thousand Oaks, CA. The building has over 81,000 square feet of rentable office space located next to the 101 freeway. Because of the high temperatures in Thousand Oaks the energy required for keeping the building cool can be high. As a result, Kilroy has implemented programs in the building that help balance tenant comfort with energy efficiency.
First, 2829 Townsgate underwent a complete lighting retrofit in 2011. Before the retrofit the property’s lighting systems consisted of traditional lighting such as MR16, R20, and R30 incandescent lamps. Kilroy replaced these with much more efficient LED lights with electronic ballasts. Kilroy has also replaced all of the plumbing with low-flow fixtures and faucets.
To further increase energy efficiency, Kilroy upgraded HVAC system with variable frequency drives. The slower startup for the units makes the parts last longer, which requires less maintenance, and it increases the efficiency of the motors because they can avoid constantly running at 100%.
To gain better control of the lighting and HVAC systems Kilroy uses an extremely efficient and user-friendly energy management system: Automated Logic Controls (ALC). This software integrates the entire building’s HVAC and lighting systems into one easy-to-use format. ALC monitors electrical usage, performs data trending, has hierarchal scheduling, shows thermographic color floor plans, trends data, schedules alarms, and gives detailed reports of the systems, providing engineers with streamlined/real-time information. In addition, it can be used on any computer or smartphone, allowing for total control of the building’s energy systems from anywhere at any time.
2829 Townsgate uses a green cleaning program that was designed, developed, and implemented by the Sustainability Department of the company. Green cleaning incorporates a few different methods in order to achieve its results. The purpose of the green cleaning program is to minimize exposure of building occupants and maintenance personnel to potentially hazardous chemical, biological, and particle contaminants that impact indoor air quality and health. Products used include general purpose cleaners, bathroom cleaners, carpet cleaners, disinfectants, floor care products, hand soaps, paper supplies for cleaning and bathrooms, and plastic trash bags that all are environmentally friendly. The program has received great results since its implementation.
At Kilroy Realty, our sustainability vision is a portfolio that minimizes the environmental impact of the construction and operation of our buildings while maximizing tenant comfort and financial savings. We will accomplish this by achieving the highest level of performance in energy and water efficiency, tenant engagement, environmental construction, sustainable building operations, green building certifications, and community involvement.
