Both locations were seeking LEED for Existing Buildings Operation & Maintenance (EB: O&M) Ratings and LEED for Commercial Interior Ratings for ongoing renovations. e4 worked with TIAA-CREF to develop, implement and document building operation procedures that reduced energy consumption and improved the sustainability of ongoing operations.
