Starbucks Sets New Goals for Renewables, Green Building
August 8th, 2008
Congratulations to Report Hawk’s client, Starbucks Coffee Company, for their recent recognition in the Greener Buildings (May 15, 2008).
The Greener Buildings story outlines how Starbucks wants to “slash energy consumption in its stores by 25 percent and buy enough renewable energy certificates to satisfy half of its stores’ energy needs, all by 2010”!
The article goes on to detail how Starbucks is “working with the U.S. Green Building Council on both its LEED Retail program and a LEED Portfolio Pilot Program that could certify a building prototype, which would allow companies such as Starbucks to integrate LEED standards across an entire portfolio.”
It is exciting to see companies embrace green building standards. One of the ways Report Hawk aids in this effort for all of our clients is in the reduction of printing construction documents, shipment of these documents and the reduction of site visits. To view the full article see the link below.
