Angus EECO – Energy and Environmentally Conscious Operations

A dramatic shift is occurring in commercial real estate operations management. More and more tenants are demanding environmentally-responsible practices and there is growing recognition that “going green” is both the right thing to do and a practical cost-savings measure.

But…

How do you sift through the myriad of sustainability initiatives out there and choose the ones that will work for you?
How do you demonstrate your green progress?  
How can you track and report your cost savings?

The Path to Sustainability…Where Do You Start?

Here. With Angus EECO (Energy and Environmental Conscious Operations), the easiest solution available to guide, manage and measure the implementation of sustainability practices in commercial real estate operations.

Instead of wading through all the industry best practices for sustainable initiatives, sifting through environment product information, or relying on outside consultants to determine which energy and environmental practices make sense for you, Angus EECO provides a knowledge database of ‘green practices’ and guidelines at your fingertips. Think of Angus EECO as your energy and environmental tutor. 

Angus EECO is the first software solution that helps real estate managers connect and engage their tenants and building occupants in sustainability initiatives. It’s about the whole community working together - the operations team, owners, managers and tenants – towards the goal of sustainable building practices.  Through reporting and tracking functions that measure savings, a community can realize that together it is possible to make a difference. 

How Does Angus EECO Work?

Angus EECO starts by helping establish a sustainability baseline.  All future sustainability practices are then measured against that baseline in order to track improvements – between buildings, within one building or by tenant – while demonstrating progress and cost savings and developing a sense of community accountability. 

Angus EECO will:

• Establish your current “green” practices baseline
• Promote ongoing “green” initiatives
• Ease upkeep and maintenance of the EPA ENERGY STAR^® data
• Measure and demonstrate your incremental improvements (by building, tenant or portfolio wide – community)
• Provide continuous GAP analysis against LEED EB^® certification
• Provide an educational tool for environmentally responsible practices

It is built upon the LEED 2009 for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance Rating System criteria for a whole-building approach to sustainability in five key areas of human and environmental health:

• Sustainable Site Development
• Water Savings
• Energy Efficiency
• Materials Selection
• Indoor Environmental Quality
