Energy Conservation
While the CalPERS Lincoln Plaza building square footage has increased by 65 percent since 2003, the total energy use per square foot has decreased by 35 percent.
Water Reduction
In response to the Governor’s 2014 emergency water reduction declaration, CalPERS implemented several water-saving measures. These measures included implementing landscaping improvements and installing a new system to capture recycled non-potable water from the cooling towers for irrigation purposes. After hours HVAC requests have also been restricted to conserve cooling tower water. These measures resulted in a 30 percent reduction in water use from January through December 2014 (nearly 10 million gallons) compared to water usage in 2013 for the same months.
Climate Action Leadership
CalPERS is recognized as a Climate Action Leader by the Climate Registry for its commitment to validate greenhouse gas emissions through third-party auditing. CalPERS has participated in the Climate Action Registry since 2006.
Renewable Energy
CalPERS purchases environmentally preferable renewable energy credits, which have a reduced effect on the environment when compared with other products that serve the same purpose.
