In 2005, the Crestwood Building won the PACE award by the Clean Air Campaign for Sustainable Property Management and earned the Energy Star label from the EPA. Ownership has determined that the building is an excellent candidate for the United States Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program under the guidelines established for existing buildings. At the time of this award, the building had been registered as a LEED-EB candidate and submittal was in process. Ownership has also developed a set of standards that guides the management of properties in their portfolio called Mark of a Difference. These standards provide a guideline for sustainable property management strategies that minimize the negative impacts of operations on the environment while enriching the communities of which they are a part through their contributions.
