January 19, 2010
The Calgary TELUS Convention Centre (CTCC) has received BOMA BESt Level 3 certification. The Building Owners and Managers Association of Canada (BOMA) developed this program to recognize and reward environmental leadership within the commercial real estate industry.
Attaining Level 3 means that all of the BOMA Best Practices in environmental management have been met with a score assessment of 80-89%. The Calgary TELUS Convention Centre scored 88% for the South Building and 85% for the North Building.
As defined by BOMA “Buildings at this level of certification have higher performance and demonstrate excellence in management. Level 3 buildings typically have been managing with energy and environmental performance in mind for several years. Management in these buildings is usually forward-thinking with flexibility to pursue environmental initiatives.”
“We are thrilled to achieve Level 3 certification”, says Heather Lundy, Director Communications. “Everyone at the CTCC works towards our environmental goals. This award recognition is to be shared by all.”
BOMA BESt stands for Building Environmental Standards and is a national program launched by BOMA Canada. There are 4 levels of certification.
The Calgary TELUS Convention Centre was the first facility in Alberta to receive the BOMA Go Green award in 2005 for environmental achievements.
