Swire Properties Inc. has entered its Miami, Florida mixed-use development, Brickell City Centre, in Miami-Dade County's "BE305 Challenge", which aims to reduce energy and water consumption in participating buildings by at least 20% by 2026. Brickell City Centre is entered as a single entity, including its key hotel, residential, retail, and office components. To successfully meet the challenge, Swire Properties will need to reduce levels consumed in 2019 - the benchmark year - by 7.3m kWh of energy and 10.6m gallons of water. At today's rates, that equates to savings of US$750,000 a year – so represents a win-win situation for the environment and the business.
