Energy Efficiency

Buildings consume approximately 72 percent of electricity in the U.S. How much energy a commercial office building uses is determined by three primary things: 1) the way it was designed and built; 2) how it is operated by the building engineers; and 3) how tenants behave in the building.

Hines has comprehensive energy management policies, including a thorough preventive maintenance program, that ensure 1100 Louisiana operates at maximum efficiency.

Specific energy conservation measures include: Utilizing reflective, dual-pane glass to mininize thermal heat gain in warm weather and reduce heat loss in cooler seasons; retrofitting lighting throughout with T-8 flourescent bulbs and electronic ballasts; installing occupancy sensors in significant portion of the building.
