Sustainability

We’ve made sustainability and energy efficiency a foundation of our work for more than a decade. We integrate this practice into our services whenever and wherever possible.

Appleton’s senior team is led by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Associates, who prioritize:

  • Replacement of inefficient heating and cooling equipment with new, state-of-the-art high-efficiency boilers, chillers, heat pumps, and split systems
  • Installation of long-lasting, energy-saving LED lighting and controls to replace older, less efficient lighting technologies
  • Complete facility weatherization, which includes mitigation of air infiltration 
  • Installation of programmable smart thermostats
  • Bulk purchasing electricity and natural gas through competitive bidding.
  • Employing sophisticated Building Management Systems, allowing our maintenance teams to drive energy efficiency
  • Re-roofing our facilities with white membrane systems that reflect sunlight and reduce the need for air conditioning in the summer months
  • Working with our customers to bring electric vehicle charging stations to their properties
