Green Lights!

It's a bright idea to conserve energy! A pioneer in the energy-conservation movement in commercial real estate, Cummings Properties recently completed a year-long lighting retrofit project, upgrading nearly 15,000 lighting fixtures throughout 40 buildings! The new energy-efficient fixtures will conserve nearly  5.5 million kilowatt hours annually, enough electricity to power 550 homes!

Solar Facade

A new 30,000 watt photo voltaic solar panel array has been installed at 8 Cabot Road in Woburn and will generate approximately 40 percent of the energy used by common area systems. Cummings’ previous solar arrays (at TradeCenter 128) were installed entirely on the parking garage roof. At 8 Cabot, 20 of the 110 panels are installed on the building’s façade. They act as awnings over the south-facing windows, further saving cooling energy and are visible reminders of the building’s energy-saving features.
