Green Go-Getters

In the past three years, Southeastern has logged an impressive track record of sustainability-driven operational improvements. Since 2008, the converter has reduced its carbon footprint by 86 percent (from 0.0504 to 0.0070 per sq. ft.); reduced reliance on natural gas by 97 percent (8,391 therms to 234 therms); and reduced VOC emissions significantly enough to transition from a large volume generator to a small volume generator in keeping with regulatory reporting requirements. Additionally, in 2010, Southeastern was honored with an Energy Conservation Leadership Award from Florida Power & Light Company for its newly installed energy-efficient lighting system.
