ECOFRIENDLY
An ecofriendly workspace is an investment in our neighborhood and environment.
MINIMIZING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND CONSERVING WATER
100% carbon free electricity – wind, solar and existing hydroelectric facilities.
All lights are on motion sensors. If a space isn’t occupied for a set period, the lights will turn off. Many lights are on daylight sensors and dim when there is adequate daylight.
All lights are LED technology. These cost more than incandescent and fluorescent lights but save a lot of energy.
Natural gas conservation by keeping the building at a cool 68°F in winter. We think it’s better to dress a bit warmer so we can minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
More than a dozen indoor and outdoor bike racks. Many of our members and visitors commute by walking, transit or bike. Bike to work knowing that you have a safe place to store your bike.
Motion sensor faucets and ultra-flow water-using appliances.
CREATING GREAT INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Lots of Fresh Air! Air purifiers with UV light in all enclosed spaces, building-wide MERV-13 HVAC filters with oxidization units plus air extraction system.
RECYCLING, COMPOSTING AND REDUCING SINGLE-USE PLASTICS
Blue recycling bins throughout the space with multiple compost bins in our kitchen. We do our best to encourage people to sort what they throw away.
Getting takeout? Use a Temescal Works tote bag when picking up your food so we reduce single use bags. Ask us for your complimentary bag 🙂
Bottle filler at our water fountain to easily fill your reusable water bottle. Single use plastic water bottles are a major environmental problem. In one year alone, our members helped us maintain an ecofriendly workspace by refilling their bottles over 6,500 times instead of using single-use plastic water bottles.
We use maximum recycled paper in our printer/copier.
