DOMINION TOWER RECEIVES ENERGY STAR
DESIGNATION
Dominion Tower became the first building
in Downtown Norfolk to receive the Energy Star designation.
The building, owned
by Norfolk-based Harbor Group International, received
the designation from the EPA for its energy savings and efficiency.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognizes Dominion
Tower for demonstrating superior energy performance and
has awarded Dominion Tower a 2005 Energy Start Label.
Earning the
Energy Star Label distinguishes Dominion Tower as one
of the top 25% in the nation in terms of energy performance,
and it
signifies Harbor Group Management Company commitment
to
improving our environment and to conserving energy.
"We believe strongly in what Energy Star represents," said Mary Drake,
property manager of Dominion Tower, "Our engineering staff worked hard to
increase the building’s energy efficiency and while providing the best
service to our tenants".
Dominion Tower is the fifth property owned by Harbor Group International
to receive Energy Star designation. It joins PNC Center of Cincinnati,
OH, State House Square
of Hartford, CT, National City Center of Indianapolis, IN, and One Enterprise
Center of Jacksonville, FL.
Harbor Group International has owned and managed Dominion Tower since October
of 2004.
Energy Star is a government-supported program that increases energy efficiency
for individuals and businesses. Attaining Energy Star designation means
Dominion Tower met the requirements of Energy Star’s guidelines, which includes
implementing their proven energy management strategy as well as using an
energy performance rating system.
