Based on actual meter readings for energy and electricity usage, Mosby Tower is more energy efficient than 83% of buildings in its class. The building is now listed on the EnergyStar.gov's Registry of buildings that have earned the Energy Star.
Over the course of 2007 and 2008, Mosby Tower pursued an overall green building strategy, starting with energy reduction. To earn the Energy Star, Mosby Tower's management hired a Certified Green Building Engineer to certify the building as Energy Star compliant. The process requires measuring energy performance over a full year and then submitting certified performance measurements to the EPA for approval.
Mosby Tower has begun a comprehensive green building retrofit effort to not only become more energy efficient, but also to improve indoor environmental quality for our tenants at the property. Effective January 1st, Mosby Tower will only use low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints at the property. VOCs are common in almost all paints, except those certified as low/no VOC.
