Environmental Quality:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that annual energy savings translate directly to reductions in the emissions of certain gases into the atmosphere.  The Energy Conservation Measures implemented in this building have saved 8,197 MMBtu/yr. These measures will reduce 2,388 tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2), 19,026 lbs of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), and 9,129 lbs of Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) annually.   This is equivalent to carbon sequestration of 652 acres of forest land or taking 478 cars off the road.
