Sustainability
Overview: Capella Tower is committed to sustainability. This means enhancing investment performance, operational resilience, and business governance to benefit the company’s properties, tenants, employees, investors, and communities. The building's Green Scorecard provides more information about Capella Tower’s sustainable operations.
As a tenant, we hope you will recognize and take ownership of your critical role in minimizing our building’s environmental impact by reducing energy and water use and sorting waste. Please review and adhere to the guidelines below within your office.
Waste Recycling: Tenants must adhere to the building’s waste recycling program. This means sorting waste properly into recycling, compost (if applicable), and landfill bins. If you would like informational signage for your space, please view the Recycling Guidelines on the Sustainability tab at the top of this page or contact the Property Management Office for additional guidance.
Electronic Waste (e-waste) Recycling: Electronic waste (e-waste) contains hazardous material that must NOT be disposed of in the building’s trash or recycling stream. E-waste must be collected and disposed of via a certified e-waste recycler. Reach out to the Property Management Office for more information about collection times and the e-waste collection location at the building. All drop-off of personal or business e-waste for recycling at the building is at your own risk. Before dropping off the equipment for reuse/recycling, it is your responsibility to (a) delete the data on the hard disk drives and any other storage devices in the equipment, (b) back up or transfer any data before deletion, and (c) remove any removable media, such as diskettes, CDs, or PC cards. Neither the Owner nor the Owner’s Agent will verify the removal of confidential data that may be stored on the Tenant’s personal or business electronic equipment before being recycled. Owner and Owner’s Agent, Capella Tower, accepts no liability for losing confidential data or software.
Green Construction: Tenants must adhere to the “Green Construction Standards” in Capella Tower’s Construction Standards. This applies to the initial tenant space buildout and subsequent improvements and renovations.
Sustainability Data-Sharing: To facilitate ENERGY STAR certification, tenants must provide the Property Management Office with the following figures upon request (on an annual basis).
- Number of computers in tenant space
- Number of employees/occupants in tenant space
Energy Disclosure Requirements: For the building owner to comply with federal, state, or local law, tenants must deliver energy use information related to the tenant’s space upon Property Management’s request (on an annual basis).
Additional Resources: Property management teams are equipped with resources to assist tenants in optimizing sustainability in their space.
