“This building is an example of how repurposing and revitalizing our existing buildings is an important part of achieving our community’s emission reduction goals and climate solutions,” said Doug Melnick, San Antonio's chief sustainability officer.
The CPS Energy building was recognized by Build SA Green as its first commercial retrofit, meaning the existing building was refurbished with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and the environmental impact of the building.When CPS Energy started looking for a different building to call home eight years ago, the utility’s leaders knew they wanted to set an example for other commercial building owners in downtown San Antonio.
“We had this vision of reimagining what the headquarters of CPS Energy in downtown San Antonio should look like,” said Garza earlier this month as he stood in the building’s cafeteria with a wall covered in live foliage behind him. “We stripped this old AT&T building down to studs and we rebuilt it in a way that reflects the type of example and leadership that we’re trying to provide in this community.
