Building Management makes it easy for occupants to be “green” during
their time in the building. Online tools, like TenantConnect, provide
access to purchasing cost-effective, environmentally sensitive supplies
and services.
Besides recommending behaviors that reduce overhead and office consumption, building management offers a recycling program that can be customized to any office type or size, and provides guidance on the proper disposal of assorted waste, including electronics. Since awareness is crucial to educating occupants on the benefits of sustainability, OHSU Center for Health and Healing 1 partners with EPA, U.S. Green Building Council and others in promoting energy and resource efficiency through exciting campaigns, from national Earth Day to “Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR.”
