Jawl Properties, in partnership with the Ministry of Labour and Citizens' Services, Accommodation and Real Estate Services (ARES) and BC Hydro, is reviewing 14 buildings for energy use, waste management, water use and other environmental factors. Changes are being implemented in these buildings to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the Carbon Footprint of the buildings and the resulting operating costs. As a member of BOMA, Jawl Properties will be pursuing Go Green certification for each building. The buildings included in this environmental review and Go Green process include:
• 2955/57 Jutland Rd. - Arc Building
• 1405 Douglas St.
• 2950 Jutland Rd. - Sawmill Point
• 3795 Carey Rd.
• 3350 Douglas St.
• 1802 Douglas St.
• 614 Humbolt St. - Belmont Building
• 1007 Fort St.
• 818 Fort St.
• 810 Blanshard St. - Robert Ker Building
• 3960 Quadra St.
• 395 Waterfront Cres. - Gatehouse Building
• 401 Garbally Rd.
• 320 Garbally Rd. - Terasen Gas
"Be the Change - Go for Green" is a tenant awareness program developed with the assistance of the BC Hydro and, will encourage people associated with the buildings to participate in a number of energy saving and conservation measures. The tenant awareness program is being launched in February 2008 and will include education, challenges and incentives.
On the Green Tips page tenants can find lots of helpful hints and great ideas to help reduce energy use and be more environmentally responsible.
Information on challenges and winners will be posted on the Green Winners portion of the web page throughout 2008.
As part of Jawl Properties' commitment to environmental sustainability the proposed new 200,000 sq ft. building to be constructed at
800 Yates St. in Victoria will aim to achieve LEED certification.
