RNL Powered by Wind

Denver (September, 2006) - RNL recently announced the purchase of wind power to power its offices in support of its commitment to sustainable design practices.

RNL purchased 252,685 kWh from Renewable Choice Energy in the form of Green-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates. The program makes it possible for any project or building, anywhere in the country to purchase green power. "It is essential to walk the talk and commit to not only designing sustainable projects but also to be sustainable in our own office environment," says Dick Anderson, principal of RNL.

RNL's purchase equates to preventing 351,738 pounds of CO2 pollution, effectively taking 31 cars off the road.

RNL also announced that two of its employees recently passed the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) exam. Ann Baker, specification writer, and Curtis Scharfenaker, principal, join RNL's other 32 LEED accredited professionals. Now, more than 35 percent of RNL's total design staff is LEED accredited.
