TCN WORLDWIDE LAUNCHES ENERGY & SUSTAINABILITY PARTNERSHIP
DALLAS, TX (MAY 17, 2011) —H. Ross Ford, president and CEO of TCN Worldwide, announced that the international commercial real estate organization and GreenPoint Partners have launched a strategic alliance dedicated to helping commercial real estate clients achieve profitable sustainability. Through this alliance, the over 1,200 TCN Worldwide professionals across four continents will gain access to GreenPoint’s training, resources, and sustainability consultants to pursue green building initiatives that increase cash flow and reduce environmental impact.
Ross Ford of TCN Worldwide stated, “Commercial real estate consumes nearly two-thirds of electricity in the US, and a third of the total energy. Energy is on everyone’s radar right now – prices are rising, demand for green space is increasing, and our clients need guidance to help them navigate a complex landscape of incentives, laws, technologies, and opportunities. Providing sustainability services to our clients makes good business sense.”
“We are excited to work with one of the industry’s strongest networks of leading independent commercial real estate firms,” said GreenPoint CEO Dustin Gellman. “TCN Worldwide firms are highly regarded for their local insight and client focus, and are a strong fit for working with GreenPoint to serve the rapidly-evolving sustainability industry.”
Through its alliance with GreenPoint, TCN Worldwide will begin offering sustainability services in May 2011. Services include energy audits, solar installations, efficiency retrofits, and LEED certification. For more information, visit: www.TCNgreen.com
