Constructed in 1986, and located in Boca Raton, Florida, Tower I at Boca Center is a six-story, multi-tenant office building. The property is owned in a joint venture by Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers (CREA) and Crocker Partners, LLC, and managed by Crocker Partners Property Management. In 2008, the property management team at Tower I at Boca Center began monitoring energy and water performance in EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. With a strong commitment to sustainability and support from ownership, the team worked to implement energy efficiency projects throughout the common areas and tenant suites. These projects led to superior energy performance, and eventually to the property earning ENERGY STAR certification.
Notable projects implemented at the property include retrofitting 32W T8 and MR16 halogen lighting in common areas and tenant spaces with 25W T8 lamps and LED lamps; calibrating temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors on all major HVAC systems at the beginning of each heating and cooling season; programming the energy management system (EMS) to enable optimum start and stop of the HVAC system; cleaning all cooling tower basins and hot decks and inspecting for and repairing interior corrosion at the end of each cooling system; performing a water balance of the chilled water system; and enabling demand controlled ventilation (DCV) to reduce outside air quantities by installing carbon dioxide sensors on each air handling unit and VFDs on the toilet exhaust fans.
CREA is an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award winner and its 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.
