Achieving ENERGY STAR requires that managers and building engineers are trained to ensure that mechanical
equipment is operating as designed to extend its life and to be cost efficient. In 2009, the Metropolitan
Tract team received the Kilowatt Cup from BetterBricks / BOMA Seattle, awarded for superior achievement in
energy management, overcoming unique obstacles and emphasizing energy efficiency through no- and low-cost practices.
"Success in energy performance requires an entire organization's commitment. The Unico team is a great example,
and their leadership and strategic view of energy management is raising the bar for the commercial real estate industry."

Additionally, Unico endorses the BOMA International 7-Point Challenge
and is working to reduce energy usage by 30 percent by 2012, as compared to an average national portfolio.
Certain Unico buildings are using renewable energy credits by purchasing wind, solar, geothermal, or biomass energy from their local
utility. Centerpoint II in Denver and US Bank Plaza in Boise purchase renewable energy as 15 percent of their total energy consumption
and Key Center and Skyline Tower in Bellevue each purchase at least 25 percent of the building’s energy through renewable sources.
