Cortex Sustainability Framework
Building a Greener Future
We're integrating sustainability into every facet of development.
Eco-Friendly Construction
Setting New Benchmarks
Cortex is committed to integrating sustainability measures across all construction projects. Our requirements ensure that developments not only meet but exceed environmental standards, incorporating green building practices to minimize carbon footprints and enhance energy efficiency.
Connecting with Cortex
Portfolio Manager for GHG Baseline
Establishing a Foundation for Sustainability Tracking
Partnership with Portfolio Manager enables Cortex and its developers to establish a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions baseline, crucial for tracking and reducing our environmental impact. The Utility Account Release Form facilitates this process, allowing for comprehensive benchmarking and performance monitoring.
Utility Account Release Form: A vital tool for benchmarking, this form authorizes the release of utility data, enabling accurate sustainability assessments and progress tracking.
Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS)
Driving Energy Efficiency Across the Board
Cortex adopts Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) to ensure that all buildings within the district achieve high levels of energy efficiency. The BEPS Handbook serves as a comprehensive guide, outlining strategies and requirements for meeting these standards.
Form for Annual ESG Reporting: Transparent Reporting for Sustainable Growth
The Annual ESG Reporting Form is a cornerstone of our sustainability framework, enabling transparent reporting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. This tool helps us measure progress towards our sustainability goals and communicate achievements to stakeholders.
EV Chargers in Cortex: Facilitating Eco-Friendly Commutes
Cortex is enhancing sustainable transportation options by installing electric vehicle (EV) chargers throughout the district. This initiative not only supports eco-friendly commuting, but also underscores our commitment to reducing transportation-related emissions.
