Public Service Electric and Gas Company’s (PSE&G) New Brunswick Customer
Service Center recently received silver certification from the
prestigious Leadership
in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) program. LEED is
a U.S. Green Building Council initiative
that provides a framework for identifying and implementing practical
and measurable green building design, construction, operations and
maintenance solutions as well as third-party verification of green
buildings.
The PSE&G New Brunswick Customer Service Center, which opened in
February, 2013, incorporates all of the elements required for the
design, construction and operation of a high performance green building,
including energy efficient LED light fixtures with occupant sensors,
low-flow plumbing fixtures that reduce water use, high efficiency
heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and energy
efficient windows.
“PSE&G has a long-standing commitment to New Jersey’s environment,” said
Joe Forline – vice president, customer solutions for PSE&G. “We are
already investing more than $1 billion in energy efficiency and solar
programs that directly benefit our customers, so it makes sense that we
would extend our commitment to the environment by making our customer
service centers as green as possible.”
The New Brunswick facility is the fourth PSE&G customer service center
that has been awarded LEED silver certification, joining similar centers
in Paterson, Passaic and Trenton. The Jersey City Customer Service
Center, which opened in October, 2013, is currently being evaluated for
LEED certification.
The New Brunswick Customer Service Center is located at 317 George
Street. It is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
