At every Global Spectrum-managed facility, the company is dedicated to reducing its environmental impact by saving energy, reducing, reusing, and recycling. Here in Sioux Falls we have continued our commitment resulting in a green facility.
Green Improvements:
• The use of green cleaning detergents for all surfaces
• Garbage waste converted into post-consumer recycled goods
• All battery operated hand towel dispensers replaced with manual dispensers that utilize recycled paper in all of our rest rooms
• Use of Green Sloan UpperCut dual-flush levers for rest room toilets to both of our concourse rest rooms – on average using 40% less water than standard flush levers and eliminated batteries that automatic sensors require
• Energy-efficient lighting for both interior and exterior use
• Encourage employees to reduce and reuse products in the building along with educating clients during move-in and move-out why we keep lights low and heating or cooling to a minimum
• Keeping air conditioning cooling systems shut down from November through April
