SUSTAINABILITY
Setting the standard for a sustainable future.
Hines began testing green technologies in the early 1990s and has been implementing and refining them since. In fact, Hines executives have been actively involved in the development of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) programs and have committed a number of buildings to its pilot initiatives. To date, four Hines projects have been LEED certified, 10 have been pre-certified and seven are registered with LEED's various programs.
 In 2004, Hines became the only real estate company ever to have been recognized with the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award. Prior to that, Hines was named ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year three years running, from 2001-2003. Currently, more than 100 Hines owned or managed buildings have been awarded the ENERGY STAR label.
