Denver Public Schools operates 154 schools throughout the City and County of Denver and has recognized that buildings present the single-greatest opportunity to improve both energy efficiency and operating costs. Using TREES, the school system will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and set a strong example for eco-conscious, lean-minded educational organizations nationwide.
"Environmental sustainability is a top consideration for our school system," said Mr. Michael Thomas, director of purchasing for the Denver Public Schools. "In today's economy, energy savings leads directly to cost savings."
"The district is very excited about this new partnership with TRIRIGA to manage the complex intersection of facilities, construction, planning and environment," said Trena Deane, executive director of facilities. "Our environmental sustainability project is an exciting new chapter in our long history of improving the quality of life in the communities we serve, and at the same time it helps us manage and reduce the operating expenses of our schools and departments."
TRIRIGA has implemented Web-based operations, facilities and real estate management solutions for more than one-third of the Fortune 100 companies, along with one-third of federal, state and local organizations. Its TREES solution is an extension of its core software suite and helps organizations baseline and benchmark the environmental performance of their facilities. From large corporate office buildings with complex data centers, to courthouses, universities and schools, organizations select TREES to realize significant improvements in the energy efficiency and operating costs of their facilities, as buildings represent 48% of energy consumption.
"Denver Public Schools is a leader in environmental stewardship for their community and understands the critical need for an environmental management system to achieve environmental compliance, prevent pollution, conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said George Ahn, president and CEO of TRIRIGA. "TREES helps the school system meet its lean and green goals by focusing on smart real estate asset management."
