PHOENIX—Hines has been recognized by the US Environmental Protection Agency with the 2014 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year-Sustained Excellence Award in recognition of continued leadership in protecting the environment through energy efficiency. Hines will be recognized at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., on April 29, 2014.
This is the tenth time Hines has been recognized by the EPA and the seventh time Hines has received the Sustained Excellence Award.
Hines' portfolio of ENERGY STAR buildings consists of 185 facilities and more than 60 million square feet. With an average performance rating of 82.4, the portfolio is 39.7 percent more energy efficient than the national average. This translates into estimated annual greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to removing more than 45,987 automobiles from the road for one year.
"Hines has a long-standing commitment to creating sustainable projects. In addition to being responsible to the environment, participating in the ENERGY STAR program also is a smart business move in creating efficiencies for our clients and maximizing the project's long-term investment," Chris Anderson, managing director of Hines told GlobeSt.com.
The 2014 Partner of the Year-Sustained Excellence Awards are given to a variety of organizations to recognize their contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through superior energy efficiency. These winners have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by setting and achieving aggressive goals, and employing innovative energy efficiency approaches. These awards recognize ongoing leadership across the ENERGY STAR program, including energy-efficient products, services, new homes, and buildings in the commercial, industrial, and public sectors. Award winners are selected from the 16,000 organizations that participate in the ENERGY STAR program.
