5.3: Build Capacity

USAA Real Estate Company's strong upper management commitment extends to the ENERGY STAR program and energy performance. As further evidence of this commitment, USAA Real Estate takes several opportunities to share plans in process as well as successes.


Internally, USAA Real Estate proudly displays Strategic Energy Management plan and corporate commitment on the USAA RealCo intranet site. Expanded access to such documents and to ENERGY STAR information helps raise awareness of the impact energy efficiency can have on the organization's performance and its positive contribution to the community in the form of environmental benefits. USAA Real Estate has also trained managers and engineering team members on how to use the US EPA's energy performance rating system. After using ENERGY STAR training tools and working with the ENERGY STAR support team, USAA Real Estate created their own in-house training program.


USAA Real Estate often extends its institutional expertise to projects designed to build capacity within its industry. USAA Energy Team member Brenna Walraven promotes USAA Real Estate's commitment to energy efficiency at industry conferences and other meetings. For instance, USAA Real Estate tailored an ENERGY STAR training session within the context of a National Management & Leasing Conference.
