800 17th Street is a trophy-class, LEED Platinum asset. The building sold to TIAA and Norges Bank in October of 2014 for $1,075/SF, a new record for Washington D.C. The building is 365,000 rentable square feet with thirteen floors of office and retail and two levels of below-grade parking. In keeping with the LEED Platinum design, 800 17th Street boasts a green roof, green wall and climate wall. The building’s climate wall uses flowing water to efficiently control the lobby’s temperature and humidity.
Since the building’s acquisition almost a year ago, JLL management and engineering staff have incorporated several changes to improve the building’s energy efficiency. At acquisition, the building was inefficiently running HVAC systems 24/7. One of the biggest energy improvements reduced the building’s HVAC operations to Lease Hours, Monday - Friday and saw the installation of Genea Energy Partner’s ACS Cloud software so that tenants could program their own overtime HVAC remotely. Building staff have also improved the free cooling capabilities by using wet bulb instead of ambient air temperature, reducing energy by raising the air handler set points from 47 to 55 during cooler weather, and are working with Siemens to improve efficient programming (i.e. ramping and equipment schedules).
2014 marked the seventh consecutive year that TIAA has received recognition as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year, and the fifth consecutive year at the Sustained Excellence level. TIAA’s Global Real Estate Sustainability Initiative (GRESI) reflects the firm’s strong commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. The GRESI is a portfolio-wide initiative that sets goals for strategic energy management, emphasizes operational excellence and continual improvement, and acts as an expanded fiduciary framework to better serve the needs of clients, investors, tenants, and communities. For more information on the TIAA GRESI, read the annual report: https://www.tiaa-cref.org/public/pdf/sri_2014_report.pdf.
One of Jones Lang LaSalle’s priority initiatives is to support environmental sustainability. This includes following green procurement practices for goods and services purchased at 800 17th Street NW, Washington, D.C. and all other JLL-managed properties. As contracts are coming up for renewal, JLL addresses the ability of the supplier to deliver services or products in an eco-friendly manner.
Key aspects of a green procurement program relate to a number of areas, including:
- Replacing mercury-containing light bulbs
- Building construction materials purchasing program
- Use of air quality compliant materials inside the building (adhesives, sealants, paints, carpet, etc.)
- Sustainable cleaning products, disposable janitorial products, and trash bags
- Sustainable cleaning policies and equipment
- Zero-sort recycling program
