Griffis Group has vowed to reduce the carbon footprint of its nine Class-A apartment communities in Colorado by purchasing more than 6.9 million kilowatt hours of renewable energy credits (RECs) from Renewable Choice Energy. This commitment will offset the impact of 60 percent of the electricity use of its 2,290 apartments for one year and help save almost 7.8 million pounds of carbon dioxide pollution. David Birnbaum, managing director of the Denver-based Griffis Group, states, "We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and educating our residents on the importance of conserving energy and encouraging the production of clean energy." The nine communities are located in Aurora, Boulder, Colorado Springs and Denver. They offer 1- to 3-bedroom apartments and boast such luxury amenities as swimming pools and spas, 24-hour fitness facilities and Starbucks coffee bars. Meanwhile, the environmentally friendly commitments range from on-site single stream recycling to energy-efficient lighting and appliances to on-site recycling for compact fluorescent light bulbs.
