BOMA’S New Green Offices When BOMA/Chicago made the decision to move its office space to 115 South LaSalle, the opportunity to fortify the organization's commitment to environmental sustainability and energy efficiency was ripe.

To do so, BOMA/Chicago brought together a team of local experts to guide the organization throughout the process and ensure the space was as sustainable as possible - from its initial design concept to construction to ongoing operations and beyond. Once the space was selected, BOMA/Chicago's team meticulously vetted every detail of the custom build out, including furnishings, layout, ventilation, lighting, materials, among dozens of other considerations. Additionally, BOMA/Chicago vowed to meet the most aggressive industry benchmarks as a means to optimize the space's energy efficiency and green attributes.
BOMA/Chicago moved into its new office space on December 1, 2008 and applied for LEED-CI certification shortly thereafter. On Monday, June 22, the U.S. Green Building Council advised that the new office construction project has been awarded their LEED CI Silver rating with a score of 30 points (4 points above basic certification and 2 short of gold). This is a terrific accomplishment and serves as an example for BOMA/Chicago's members and their tenants. |
In addition to providing BOMA/Chicago with 30 percent more usable space, the office's sustainable features include:
