Alice Cook, director of sustainability for Time Equities Inc., said that City Center
Square is well on its way to reducing its overall energy consumption. \"The high-rise
is taking proactive steps, including replacing all of the lighting in the building
with compact fluorescent bulbs, transitioning to green cleaning products,
introducing a recycling program and utilizing window film to reduce solar heat
gain,\" said Cook. \"Eighty percent of energy use is behavioral, while 20 percent is
from technology.\"

According to Janet Ziegler, vice president of finance and administration for the
Kansas City Convention and Visitors Association, tenants are embracing City Center
Squares\' lead on implementing environmental measures. \"We\'ve taken steps to adapt
behaviors as well as procedures. Styrofoam cups have been eliminated, replaced with
washable cups. We are also focusing many of our mailing efforts online which saves
the CVA over $60,000 annually in paper and postage,\" said Ziegler. \"City Center
Square is a good partner for us in new recycling programs, using low waste paper
products and sensor light initiatives. We are all lucky to be working in a building
that recognizes the importance of taking environmental measures seriously.\"
