The way a company interacts with the world around it exemplifies the way it will treat its customers, its employees and anyone else who comes into contact with it from a business perspective. That's why Sprint has taken a strong, proactive role in responsibly managing natural resources. The company's robust environmental efforts range from wireless recycling programs to the use of renewable energy in its networks to a commitment to reducing its greenhouse gas reductions.
One example of how this environmental commitment is applied is in a Sprint retail store in Overland Park, Kansas. This retail site, known as Sprint's 95th and Quivira location, is within 10 minutes of the company's World Headquarters campus. It is a single-story 5,500-square-foot out parcel retail building, which incorporates green/sustainable mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems into the store design. These elements were integrated into the store's design with the assistance of Henderson Engineers, Inc., in design partnership with Architect of Record; Rees Masilionis Turley Architecture LLC.
Green/sustainable elements include:
- Highly efficient mechanical and electrical systems, including water-efficient plumbing fixtures. These systems were a significant factor in this site earning an ENERGY STAR rating of 92 out of 100.
- High-efficiency rooftop HVAC units with 100 percent economizers serve several different thermal zones in the store. These provide tight temperature control and good indoor air quality for customers and employees. The HVAC system allows the space to utilize free cooling, which involves circulating cool outside air, when available. The rooftop units also incorporate premium efficiency motors and sustainable HFC-410A (Refrigerant 410A).
- Lighting systems incorporate high-lumen output per watt T8 fluorescent lamping and lighting controls. Occupancy sensors turn lights off when not in use.
- Low-flow water closets and faucets were installed with the intent to maximize water efficiency.
With the highly sustainable MEP infrastructure already in place, the Sprint retail store in Overland Park is well situated to continue the ENERGY STAR certification in the years to come.
