At Hacienda, sustainable design elements are incorporated into every new project and each building constructed complies with the US Green Building Council's LEED threshold standard. Project owners of new construction strive to make buildings as energy efficient as possible. Several projects in Hacienda have pursued clean energy generation. Large solar arrays are located on eleven Hacienda sites and fuel cells are located at three sites. Cogeneration has also been used at a Hacienda project to provide more efficient use of energy.
Hacienda also supports tenants who seek clean power and energy-efficient upgrades. Many individual Hacienda projects have realized significant energy savings through a variety of retrofit programs.
