Tec Inc. Columbus: Greenspot Award

Columbus, Ohio, February 19, 2009
In an effort to reduce our impact on the natural resources and lower our energy consumption the Tec Inc. Columbus office enrolled in the City of Columbus, Get Green Program in September of 2008.  Through our efforts the office was awarded a Greenspot distinction in November of 2008.  To maintain our Greenspot the office must comply with a list of Greenspot Commitments during the course of the next year.  Some of the commitments are mandatory, other are self-imposed ranging from recycling, energy, waste and water audits, and office improvements. 

To date the Columbus office has accomplished several of our commitments in just a 6-month period.  The list includes:  Installation of LED desk lamps with motion sensors in our offices, motion sensors in the copy and conference room and storage closet, installation of high efficiency fluorescent fixtures throughout the office, and low-flow automatic faucets in the bathrooms.  We have implemented a paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, and packing recycling program and we have a waste-tracking program. All of the paper used in the office is from recycled, renewable sources such as sugar cane.  Within the next 6 months we plan to upgrade our thermostat to an electronic programmable thermostat and complete the installation of the high efficiency fluorescent fixtures.

One of the commitments required us to create and display our Environmental Policy:

“It is our goal at Tec Inc. to create an environmentally friendly office space that will reduce the amount of waste and energy used, lowering our impact on natural resources and decreasing our energy footprint.  We will meet these goals by following the guidelines set forth in the Columbus Greenspot Program both in our office and at home.”

If you have any questions or want to know more about what we are doing to create and maintain our “greenspot” feel free to call Matt McCarren, Lighting Designer at Tec Inc. 614-866-2868 or check out the Columbus Greenspot Program at www.ColumbusGreenSpot.org.
