According to Mack-Cali Realty Corp. 103 Carnegie Center and 5 Vaughn Dr. in Princeton, along with 14 Commerce Dr., Cranford Business Park in Cranford, have received energy reduction awards from the New Jersey Chapter of the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA).
The awards were presented at the organization's first annual Building Energy Reduction Awards ceremony at The Newark Club in Newark.
103 Carnegie Center and 5 Vaughn Dr. received the awards based on strict adherence to Mack-Cali's "Building Best Operating Practices." Management continues to pursue energy reducing renovations such as hands-free restroom faucets, lighting motion sensors, replacing T‑12 with T-8 lighting fixtures, control system upgrades, as well as optimizing HVAC PM scheduling.
In addition to ongoing "Building Best Operating Practices," energy conservation efforts at 14 Commerce Dr. benefited from the implementation of a building automation system (BAS) to efficiently control the building's HVAC systems, as well as a parking lot lighting system upgrade. Management is dedicated to continuing improvements to reduce energy use and to ensure that existing equipment performs at a high level of efficiency.
