Denison has building level energy and water metering and an energy dashboard system. We continually upgrade and improve energy efficiency and water conservation in our buildings by deploying timed switches, occupancy sensors, and low-flow fixtures. We use Eco Logo and Green Seal cleaning supplies. Landscaping utilizes native species and we employ a number of strategies to reduce the impacts of runoff and erosion.
We do not have a formal indoor air quality policy, but we do make every attempt to ensure proper ventilation for indoor spaces and adhere to standards for required air exchanges per hour for all buildings with HVAC systems.
