Partner Profile The Chicago region of Bovis Lend Lease provides program and construction management to various clients throughout the region. The company committed to procuring 100 percent green certified electricity for all of its project sites by year end 2008. The commitment extends to electricity bought for construction purposes. The driver behind the Bovis Lend Lease Chicago region commitment to green power for its offices and for electricity used during construction was a refinement of its sustainability program and overall benefit study. Buying green power not only for its office use but also for electricity used during our construction allows it to build green buildings using renewable electrical power. This synergy fits well with our clients' demand for sustainable construction and highly efficient buildings. "As part of Bovis Lend Lease, the Chicago region is committed to developing partnerships, alliances and opportunities that engage our clients in a manner that is consistent with the best available solutions. Part of that culture is to develop sustainable construction practices" said Robert J. Davis, Vice President of Chicago's Bovis Lend Lease's Technical Service Group. "The use of green power during construction is a unique opportunity to demonstrate that commitment."
