TOBY AWARD WINNERS

THE OUTSTANDING BUILDING OF THE YEAR AWARDS

On Feb 12, 2020, at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, BOMA Georgia was pleased to honor Georgia’s top commercial buildings for their achievements in operational excellence at the annual TOBY & Association Awards Luncheon, presented by 2020 Platinum Sponsor, Full Circle Restoration.

TOBY Judges evaluate a building’s overall excellence in building standards, community involvement, tenant and employee relations, energy management, building accessibility, and emergency evacuation and training for building personnel. All TOBY entrants had the challenge of meeting a minimum building inspection score of 70 percent in order to be eligible for an award. Entrants then competed in their category based on the strength of their building as represented in their application – demonstrating the quality of their building operations and management practices.

The 2020 TOBY competition featured an impressive group of candidates representing multiple categories. Local TOBY winners advance to the regional level, where they will compete against other office buildings from across the Southeast at the BOMA Southern Region Conference, held April 2 -4, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. More details at www.BOMASRC.org.

BOMA Georgia will share the results of the Southern Region TOBY awards in upcoming communications.

Finally, several BOMA service providers made tribute donations to the BOMA Georgia Foundation on behalf of TOBY-winning buildings. Those providers are recognized on each of the coming pages. We encourage you to learn more about the BOMA Georgia Foundation’s positive impact on the commercial real estate industry by visiting www.bomageorgiafoundation.org.

Some interesting points about Promenade include: Cutting edge energy and water management hardware and software like AIM (Analytics Information Manager), GOBY, Aquicore, Chiller Check, and tekWorx allow our team to optimize equipment and run times to decrease energy consumption. These programs in addition to spending approximately $1M to upgrade building standard lighting to LEDs in the parking garage, common areas, back of house, and customer spaces have enabled Promenade to increase its Energy Star score by over 6 points in the last year. As a result of our energy conservation efforts, Promenade’s energy consumption within the last 9 months has decreased over 592,000 kWh, resulting in a savings of over $35,000 for our tenants and Cousins.

Cousins is currently modernizing Promenade’s 22 elevators to the newest generation destination dispatch technology. This upgrade is not only improving interior cab appearances, but also improving functionality, time efficiency, security, and convenience for our tenants. Energy savings from our elevator modernization are estimated to exceed $35,600 per year.

Promenade earned its second BOMA 360 Award in 2017, its 5th Energy Star Certification in 2019, its 7th Atlanta Better Buildings Competition Top Performer Award in Energy and Water conservation in 2019, and received GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmarking) Green Star ranking among pier

properties and 5/5 stars when compared with properties globally for energy conservation data collection, and socially conscious management practices. continued from page 7

Promenade operates a robust water recovery and cistern system that irrigates the entire 3.85 acre property, completely eliminating the need for city water for irrigation.

Through training and a robust preventative maintenance program, Promenade's team ensures that our tenants experience the best customer service and quickest response time possible. Promenade and Cousins support an integrated team development program focused on hard and soft skills. Team member training expands beyond Cousins, integrating BOMA RPA, SMT, and SMA designations in addition to BOMA Allied Member supported CE training classes.
