Sustainable facilities are clean, safe, healthy, and productive work environments operating at the lowest possible cost. They conserve natural resources by using energy wisely, minimizing waste, and reducing material use. Effective operations and maintenance over the life of the building can show the commitment of an owner to corporate environmental stewardship and reduce their overall environmental footprint.

Construction of a building is only the beginning of the long term impacts of that facility. Developing an effective operation and maintenance program delivers direct benefits to the owner’s bottom line year after year through reduced energy, water, and waste costs and improved occupant satisfaction. CTG engages a full spectrum of operating, maintenance, and management staff to develop and implement comprehensive sustainable facility programs. In developing these programs, we help organizations collect the vast majority of data needed to calculate and report greenhouse gas emissions from real estate assets.

CTG is well versed in using LEED-EB® as a framework for working with facility teams to achieve certification for these programs and gain recognition as an industry leader. We work with teams to benchmark existing process as well as develop on-going process improvements for higher levels of performance and LEED certification. It is about improving the triple bottom line and creating business value.
