LEED Certified

THE INNS OF THE CORPS Marine lodging facilities are addressing environmental

and ecological concerns by employing design, technology, stewardship, and

process improvements across all facilities. The new South Mesa Lodge is the fi rst of

these facilities to be certifi ed in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

(LEED), and has attained a silver certifi cation.

We have embarked on a mission to refurbish all existing lodging facilities

according to our new GREEN standards including better recycling, water con-

servancy, linen re-use, and energy effi cient lighting programs. Going forward

all new Inns of the Corps will be built to LEED Silver Certifi cation. Two of these

are the Lejeune Inn/Camp Lejeune, NC, which will include an additional 50

new rooms; and 102 new rooms at the Miramar Inn/MCAS Miramar, CA.

Change the World;

Start with Energy Star!

ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the

environment through energy effi cient products and practices.

Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved

enough energy in 2009 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to

those from 30 million cars — all while saving nearly $17 billion on their utility bills.

Replacing household appliances with ones that have earned the ENERGY STAR

label will signifi cantly reduce your energy bills and help the environment!

COMPACT FLUORESCENT BULBS use about 1/5th the energy an

incandescent light bulb does and produces the same amount of light.

• CFLs also generate about 70% less heat so they are safer to use.

• CFLs use 80% less energy and last up to

10 times longer than standard bulbs.

• 1 CFL bulb can prevent more than 400 pounds

of greenhouse gas emissions over its lifetime.

• CFLs can also save an estimated $30-$40 in

energy costs over the bulb’s lifetime.
