Unico Properties

Unico Properties, a Seattle-based real estate investment and operating company, estimates it has reduced energy use in its 10-million-square-foot commercial portfolio by 12 percent a year by upgrading systems. Unico uses the U.S. EPA's Energy Star Portfolio Manager Tool to measure energy use in 31 properties. The percentage of energy saved in buildings ranges from 3 percent to 29 percent. Significant savings were measured in newer buildings, such as the Seattle Russell Investment Center, which recorded an 18 percent savings. Unico Sustainability Project Manager Brett Phillips said some buildings showed significant savings with small changes.
