Cousins Properties Reaches Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge Goal

  

American Cancer Society Center, 250 Williams Street, Downtown Atlanta, GA

ATLANTA, GA – The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (Atlanta BBC) recognized Cousins Properties for reaching a milestone achievement in sustainability for its American Cancer Society Center (ACSC) building. The ACSC, located downtown at 250 Williams Street, was one of just 20 Atlanta properties to complete its Atlanta BBC goal in 2013.

Lauren Dufort

 Atlanta BBC participants work to realize a 20 percent reduction in energy and water consumption in commercial properties by or before 2020. 

Cousins is among the first Atlanta BBC participants to achieve this goal within less than two years of the program’s launch.

 Atlanta, along with Seattle and Los Angeles, were the first cities selected by President Obama in 2011 to participate in this U.S. Department of Energy-backed sustainability program that has since expanded throughout the country.

Denise Quarles

Originating in Downtown, the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge has grown to include participation throughout the city, including the Midtown and Buckhead communities. Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) works in partnership with the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Sustainability to manage the Atlanta BBC. 

 To date, the Atlanta BBC boasts more than 80 participants, representing more than 65 million square feet of commercial space working to implement sustainability improvements.

 “We commend and congratulate Cousins for taking this important step to improve Atlanta’s energy and water efficiency,” said Lauren Dufort, Director of Sustainability at Central Atlanta Progress.

 “The City of Atlanta applauds Cousins in its efforts to make our city a more sustainable place to live and conduct business,” said Denise Quarles, Director, City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Sustainability. “Their hard work is just the beginning, and we are glad that they paved the way for other Atlanta BBC participants.”

  

President Barack Obama

Cousins was formally recognized in a ceremony held July 16 at Hudson Grille Midtown.
