Awards and Certifications

LEED Certification

201 Third Street is LEED® certified at the Gold level under The Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance rating system. This certification reinforces our longstanding commitment to developing high performance buildings. LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system that evaluates the design, construction, and operation of green buildings. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED buildings provide value for tenants because they perform approximately 25% better than average in terms of energy and water consumption. This translates into cost savings on utility bills and equipment repairs, among other benefits.

Recycling

We would like to thank everyone in our building for the continued participation in our waste diversion efforts. High diversion rate is great for the environment, and it lowers our refuse bill – a savings that’s ultimately passed back to you.  Click here for more information and tips from Recology.

201 Third Street holds quarterly e-Waste events free of charge to tenants. Contact the Building Management Office for more information.

Green Cleaning

Kilroy Realty has always used the most advanced green cleaning products and practices in all of our buildings. We are constantly searching for the latest information on green cleaning and update our cleaning services whenever we see an opportunity to further minimize the environmental impact of our custodial practices. 201 Third Street has an excellent Green Cleaning program.

Integrated Pest Management

Pest control is an important strategy for maintaining IAQ because both pests (for example, mice) and pesticides can cause health problems. The building strives to minimize pesticide use and utilize non-chemical options where feasible.

Sustainable Purchasing

Kilroy Realty understands the significant role material selection plays in the operation of a sustainable building. Throughout a material’s lifecycle, extraction, processing, transportation, use & disposal, there are many negative health & environmental consequences. Environmentally responsible purchasing can significantly reduce that impact. 

Indoor Air Quality

Optimal indoor air quality is vital to good health and cognitive function. We at Kilroy Realty recognize this and as such, have a robust building health program that promotes and verifies great indoor air quality (IAQ). You can also visit the EPA’s website to learn what you can do to improve the indoor air quality in your workspace or home.
