Sustainable Builder, Rudolph and Sletten, Cuts CO2 Emissions With Installation of a Solar Photovoltaic System

Marketwired
As part of Rudolph and Sletten, Inc.'s continued commitment to
sustainability, the company announced today the installation of its
new solar photovoltaic system at its Irvine, California office. The
photovoltaic panels which cover the roof operate like a miniature
power plant converting the sun's rays into electric energy. The
50-kilowatt system reduces Rudolph and Sletten's reliance on
conventional electricity at the office by 25%. This installation of
"green" technology will pay for itself in just over ten years.
"As a leader in sustainable construction, we find it imperative
to practice our own philosophies," says Martin Sisemore, CEO and
President of Rudolph and Sletten. "Our corporate offices are LEED
Gold Certified, our fleet is comprised of hybrid vehicles and we
are requiring our managers to become LEED accredited, 180 already
have." Sisemore continues, "We are always looking for ways to
reduce our carbon footprint, and installing solar photovoltaic
panels is a logical and viable option."
Over the 30-year-life of the photovoltaic system, Rudolph and
Sletten's Irvine office will reduce their carbon emissions by more
than 1,594 tons, the equivalent of planting 37,067 trees, removing
271 cars from the road, or not taking 1,547 round trips flights
between San Francisco and New York.
Rudolph and Sletten owns its Irvine office. Its other California
offices are leased and thus not under consideration for the same
installation projects.
