Sustainability Guidelines

Healthcare Realty is committed to protecting and preserving our environment. As a tenant, you are our partner in striving to meet the highest standards for environmental responsibility. Please follow these guidelines to help conserve energy and minimize the environmental impact of your building:

• Optimize the energy settings on computers and other electronic devices and make sure to shut them down at the end of the day.
• Unplug printers, scanners, copiers, and other office machines that are only used occasionally.
• Turn off all lights and any audio/visual equipment that is not being used.
• Minimize the consumption of materials by using digital documents whenever possible, to cut down on the use of unnecessary amounts of paper.
• Choose recycled materials such as recycled paper whenever possible.
• Bringing lunch and using reusable containers helps reduce waste and saves money. If you order takeout, join co-workers in large orders to minimize waste of small individual packaging.
• Bring in mugs, glasses, dishware, and utensils to reduce the use of disposable paper and plastic goods.

Water Efficiency Tips:

• Limit use of any sink faucets to what is necessary.
• Immediately report leaks in water heaters, faucets, toilets, urinals, and other appliances to the Management Office.
• Inquire with the Management Office about the use of automatic shut-off valves for your intensive water equipment.
• Use WaterSense® and ENERGY STAR® products, including faucets, toilets, water heats, and other applicable equipment.
