Description

This session will provide a look at the impressive sustainable buildings and operations of the Port of San Francisco. The Port is the landlord of 25 million square feet of leasable space, managing close to 200 buildings. Through the renovation and construction processes, the Port implements the latest and greenest technologies that are suitable for each project. Some of the buildings date back to the 1920s, such as the historic Pier 29.  Others are new additions, such as the neighboring James R. Herman Cruise Terminal at Pier 27, which received LEED Gold Certification. The EcoCenter is an educational community center that uses sustainable on-site power, water and wastewater systems, and is the first LEED Platinum - Zero Net Energy Building in San Francisco. Facility managers will learn about the challenges of implementing sustainable best practices with old infrastructure and resource challenges.
