JMB Installs First of its Kind Bloom Energy Fuel Cell Servers in Los Angeles to help reduce carbon footprint in its Constellation Place Office Building

January 12, 2012 Century City, Calif. – JMB Realty announced the reduction of Constellation Place’s carbon footprint through the installation of Bloom Energy ServersTM.  The state of the art fuel cell power generators will produce 400 kW of power, supplying approximately one-third of the building’s electrical demand, and reducing those emissions by 30 percent.

 

“JMB is excited to be Bloom Energy’s first high-rise, class A office installation.  As the first of its kind in Los Angeles, Constellation Place continues to set a precedent in its ongoing commitment to green technology and reducing its carbon footprint,” said Sarah Shaw, Vice President Development and Operations for Constellation Place.  “These servers, combined with the existing photovoltaic system, enable JMB to offer its tenants a greener office environment while generating significant savings.”

 

Bloom Servers, adapted from NASA technology, each occupy a space equivalent to the size of an average parking space and contain thousands of Bloom fuel cells – flat, solid ceramic squares made from a sand-like powder-which convert air and fuel into electricity via a clean electrochemical process, while reducing carbon emissions by 30 percent.

 

Bloom Energy is a Distributed Generation (DG) solution that is clean, reliable and affordable all at the same time.  Bloom’s Energy Servers can produce clean energy 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, delivering faster payback and greater environmental benefits.  And while other DG systems may require lengthy installations, sunny locations, or demand for consistent heat load, Bloom Energy systems are easy and fast to install, practically anywhere.

 

“JMB is demonstrating that building owners and operators can create value from clean and reliable sources of energy,” said Bill Thayer, Executive Vice President Sales and Service at Bloom Energy. “Serving its tenants and its own environmental goals affordably makes this a perfect project for Bloom Energy.  We are proud to work with a leader like JMB.”

 

With this energy-producing initiative, JMB Realty joins an elite list of Fortune 500 Bloom Energy customers including eBay, FedEx, Google, Staples and Walmart.

 

About Constellation Place Located in the heart of Century  City on Constellation Boulevard, Constellation Place was built by an affiliate of Chicago-based developer, JMB Realty Corp.  In June 2008, Constellation Place became the first high rise office building in Los Angeles to receive the USGBC LEED® Silver certification in the existing building category. Constellation Place has since gone through the recertification process and achieved LEED® Gold Certification.
