Achievements

LEED Certification

303 Second Street is LEED® certified at the Gold level under the Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance rating system. This certification means we’ve made a commitment to maintaining excellence in our building operations. LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system that evaluates the design, construction, and operation of green buildings. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED buildings provide value for tenants because they perform approximately 25% better than average in terms of energy and water consumption. This translates into cost savings on utility bills and equipment repairs, amongst other benefits.

Green Cleaning

Kilroy Realty has always used the most advanced green cleaning products and practices in all of our buildings. We are constantly searching for the latest information on green cleaning and update our cleaning services whenever we see an opportunity to further minimize the environmental impact of our custodial practices. 303 Second has an excellent Green Cleaning program which can be reviewed in our Energy Management System.

Indoor Air Quality

Optimal indoor air quality is vital to good health and cognitive function. We at Kilroy Realty recognize this and as such, have a robust building health program that promotes and verifies great indoor air quality (IAQ). You can find our full IAQ policy here. You can also visit the EPA’s website to learn what you can do to improve the indoor air quality in your workspace or home.

Integrated Pest Management Plan

Pest control is an important strategy for maintaining IAQ because both pests and pesticides can cause health problems. The building strives to minimize pesticide use and utilize non-chemical options where feasible. To learn more about our Integrated Pest Management Policy please visit our Environmental Management System.
