Business Wire
Twin Trees Land Company, a family owned commercial real estate
investment company with properties in Hawaii and several states
across the nation, and Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc.
(OTCBB:PPRW), a global leader in the development, design,
engineering and construction of solar power systems for commercial,
government and utility markets globally, announced today the
companies are initiating three solar energy systems in the greater
Sacramento area. The installations – the largest solar energy
projects for Twin Trees Land Company will contribute towards
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Existing
Buildings Operations & Maintenance certification from the U.S.
Green Building Council.
In operation since 1932, Twin Trees Land Company is a
family-owned business, dedicated to serving its customers and
clients by providing the highest quality real estate ownership and
property management services. Twin Trees began assessing their
Sacramento area properties in late 2008 for potential improvements
in energy efficiency, water efficiency, and environmentally
preferable management practices and to determine their eligibility
for LEED for Existing Building Operations & Maintenance
certification. Partnering with Williams + Paddon Architects and a
team of Consultants, their properties at 2220 Douglas Boulevard and
2240 Douglas Boulevard in Roseville, CA were the first to receive
upgrades such as high-efficiency HVAC units, occupancy sensors,
water efficient landscape and irrigation systems and high
efficiency plumbing fixtures, which contributed towards achieving
an ENERGY STAR Label in 2009 and LEED Gold certification in
2010.
Twin Trees’ property at 10540 White Rock Road, Rancho Cordova,
CA will undergo similar energy efficiency improvements and will
begin the LEED EB certification process before the end of this
year. The addition of photovoltaic arrays at these three
properties, leveraged by the availability of Federal Grants and
Utility Company rebate programs, will enhance Twin Trees’ efforts
to provide high quality, sustainably operated properties in the
greater Sacramento area.
The rooftop installations incorporate high-efficiency solar
photovoltaic (PV) modules from Suntech to convert the facilities
into clean and renewable energy-producing sites. Premier Power
designed and engineered the solar systems to supply more than
755,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy annually. The electricity
generated onsite will be equal to more than 30% of each building’s
annual electricity use or enough to meet the annual needs of
approximately 65 California homes, and avoid the annual CO2
emissions from using 1,212 barrels of oil or 58,405 gallons of
gasoline.
“Twin Trees Land Company is a role model in its industry,
committed not only to providing quality real estate investment
services, but doing so in an environmentally sustainable fashion,”
said Dean Marks, Chief Executive Officer at Premier Power. “By
providing these installations, Premier Power is now helping to
establish Twin Trees as a renewable energy beacon in the Sacramento
community.”
"We are committed to be a community leader and innovator for
creating environmentally responsible commercial properties. And
within the Sacramento area, we continue to work with partners so we
can create a healthy and lively community," said Jeffrey Lum of
Twin Trees Land Company.
“Twin Trees is an innovative Client continually looking for
opportunities to improve the sustainability, efficiency and quality
of their properties, positioning themselves at the forefront of the
commercial office real estate market”, said Regina Souchek and Mark
Posnick, Williams + Paddon Architects.
Construction is scheduled to begin at the end of October with
the system being mechanically completed by the end of 2011.
