Earning LEED® for Existing Buildings
Unico is LEED-certifying buildings across our portfolios, requiring high performance
in operations and maintenance. In 2008, 100 Pine in San Francisco earned a LEED®-EB
(Existing Buildings) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council as the first multi-tenant office
building to receive such designation in California -- and only the second on the
West Coast.
"Unico's leadership in earning LEED Existing Building certification at 100 Pine Street
is particularly noteworthy because certifying multi-tenant buildings represents
a rather challenging endeavor. LEED for Existing Buildings is an important emerging
trend, as nearly 40 percent of the carbon emissions are generated by buildings,
and existing buildings represent more than 95 percent of the building stock. I'm
impressed with the dedication of the Unico's management and ownership teams to achieve
LEED-EB certification, and look forward to many more to come".
