We Think Green

The built environment has a major impact on our health, economy and natural environment. In the United States, buildings account for 65% of electricity consumption, 30% of raw materials use, 30-40% of greenhouse gas emissions, and 12% of potable water consumption. Those of us in the development industry have a unique opportunity to help reduce these numbers and in the process improve overall quality of life.

Green Power: We purchase 100% of our electricity from clean, green wind power

Waste Reduction & Recycling: We use electronic documents as much as possible and recycle paper, aluminum, plastic and glass

Strategic Consumption: We purchase eco-friendly goods

Reduced Energy Consumption: A recent energy audit helped us reduce our energy consumption by 15% (and counting)

Memberships: We are members of EcoBroker, Co-op America, the United States Green Building Council and Savannah Green Source.

Community: We are active in a number of community organizations including the Savannah Chapter of the USGBC, the Flannery O’Connor Foundation, the Telfair Museum of Art and the Davenport House

Advocacy: In addition to our community involvement and our continuing support of the green building practitioners of the region, Judge Realty also supports policy that would enable a curbside recycling program in Savannah
