Going Green
The Classic Center Green Information
The Classic Center remains committed to our “green initiative” to operate our facilities in the most energy efficient manner possible and to utilize green products and services when appropriate.
Water Conservation
Water conservation is the use of low flow faucets, hands-free motion sensor faucets for high-volume restrooms and outdoor computerized irrigation systems.
The Classic Center is the proud recipient of the 2018 Leadership in Water Conservation Award for Business highlighting a project that would reduce our water use by 1.1 million gallons per year.
Recycling Program
The Recycling Program is committed to a staff and visitor program including cardboard, scrap paper, newspaper, plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans, toner cartridges, and wooden pallets.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is energy audits conducted by Georgia Power, use of compact fluorescent light bulbs, computerized climate control systems, and motion sensor lighting controls. The Classic Center has moved toward solar energy to increase efficiency. Check out our current solar power usage here.
Recycled Materials & Local Resources
Recycled materials and local resources were used for office supplies and equipment obtained through refurbished inventory or recycled materials and goods and services purchased locally to avoid transportation associated waste.
Urban Location
Urban area location planned to encourage pedestrian access to retail, entertainment, lodging, and restaurants, and to provide alternative transportation choices over automobiles.
Monitoring Indoor Air Quality
We have a 100% smoke free facility, through the use of pleated air filters with regular replacement, and energy saving heat recovery units for fresh air capture.
Tree Canopy
Tree Canopy is a facility property established with dozens of mature trees within the landscape design contributing to the reduction of carbon dioxide pollutants, storm water run-off control and soil infiltration, and providing a pleasing sense of space and place.
