LEED Gold Certification makes ONE the tallest highrise in South Carolina with that distinction. (www.usgbc.org)

Hughes Development is a real estate innovator in Greenville, SC.

We proudly:

• Installed energy monitors. 
• Installed our energy dashboard kiosk  to help them achieve their LEED Gold certification. It acts as an educational tool for the community, anyone who visits their South tower lobby.
• Provide consulting or service when no one else can resolve a technical issue. 

US Government:

To help create jobs and increase energy efficiency, the US Government enacted and funded the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). 

State of NC:

This act enabled the North Carolina Board of Science and Technology to develop and lead the NC Green Business Fund. This fund was a comprehensive opportunity that supported small businesses like ours, while helping sustain or create new jobs for the community, while making our environment more habitable. 

Winning a grant, supported Inviro's city-wide Cool Roofs and Energy Retrofit project, which helped create awareness and popularity of the affordability and effectiveness of cool roofs in the southeast. Now, it's rare that you see a dark roof. The radiance of the coatings reduce heat gain of buildings and greatly lower cooling expenses. Over time, these cumulative energy savings will have a positive effect on climate change. 

We proudly:

• Designed the project, wrote a grant 
• Won a grant of $437k
• Project managed several vendors for the installation work
• Coordinated with the state energy office to submit required reporting
• Communications between real estate owners and small business tenants
• Managed a comprehensive retrofit project at Body Tech, a large gym, which included:
  • Weatherization
  • HVAC efficiency
  • LED lighting
  • Solar PV
  • Energy Monitors
  • Dashboard Kiosk
• The dashboard allowed the public to see the before and after of each systems’ energy reduction and how that relates to things like dollars saved and which systems use 

                  how much energy.
