Today Crimson Services announced that its ParkRidge Four property in Littleton, Colorado has received a 2009 ENERGY STAR, an honor presented by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for outstanding achievement in energy conservation.
Through efforts such as usage monitoring and energy efficiency upgrades, ParkRidge Four has acquired the EPA’s prestigious distinction for the second time. To earn an ENERGY STAR, a building must utilize at least 35 percent less energy per square foot than comparable structures – a conservation that yields an estimated $25,000 in savings per 50,000 square feet of office space.

“Energy efficiency is a priority we take very seriously, so we’re thrilled that the EPA has recognized the progress our facilities have made in that area,” said Executive Managing Director Don Thomas. “Conservation efforts have grown enormously in Colorado, and we’re proud to be a part of what is shaping up to be a state-wide movement.”
Located atop one of the highest points in South Denver, the 190,000-square-foot ParkRidge Four boasts floor-to-ceiling windows with Rocky Mountain views on all six floors. The Class A office building is situated within the 74-acre ParkRidge Corporate Center, adjacent to the Lincoln Light Rail Station and minutes from Park Meadows Mall. Crimson’s ParkRidge Four is one of only two ENERGY STAR buildings in Littleton, both of which are located in the Corporate Center.
As part of its ongoing commitment to first-class service and environmental stewardship, Crimson Services took the ENERGY STAR challenge in two other states this year. Ten energy-efficient buildings in Texas and Florida also made the EPA’s list, bringing the firm’s national total to eleven ENERGY STARS – its highest number to date.
According to EPA statistics, energy conservation efforts like Crimson’s have had a staggering impact. In 2008 alone, Americans saved enough energy to cut greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 29 million cars and $19 billion in utility bills.
