On the recordJune 16, 2011
I rise today to congratulate Tremco, Inc., for its energy efficiency efforts. Tremco, located on Green Road in Beachwood, OH, recently completed a multimillion-dollar renovation of their 40-year-old headquarters to transform it into an energy- efficient example for sustainable design. The unveiling and dedication of the facility, which will be attended by our Governor, Members of Congress, and local officials, will take place tomorrow. The renovation will allow Tremco to lower its carbon footprint, reduce gas usage by 84 percent, reduce electric usage by 43 percent, save hundreds of thousands of gallons of potable water, and reduce materials sent to landfills by 90 percent. In addition, they are hoping to receive the prestigious U.S. Green Building Council's LEED-Gold certification for their energy-efficient improvements. In today's world of rising energy prices and instability in the Middle East, I would like to commend the management and employees of Tremco, Inc., for their leadership in sustainability and congratulate them as they celebrate their newly renovated headquarters in a ``Building Green on Green'' dedication that will take place on Friday, June 17, 2011. ____________________
