Cummings Properties has appointed Gary Gresh to the position of sustainability manager.
In this newly created position, Gresh will work to expand Cummings Properties' existing energy efficiency programs and help the 40-year-old firm become a more sustainable organization in all aspects of its operations. By identifying and implementing initiatives to reduce energy consumption, Gresh will be responsible for helping Cummings Properties reduce its carbon output and help facilitate the company's emergence as a leader in sustainability among commercial real estate developers in New England
Cummings has a history of energy-saving construction and the use of recycled materials in its many properties. The company has earned an "Energy Star" rating for many of its "green" office buildings, and received LEED Gold pre-certification for its new TradeCenter 128 project.
Cummings Properties is reportedly one of the first area real estate companies to hire a full-time sustainability manager.
