HRCA Going Green

Here are some of the ways in which HRCA is making a difference for the health of our environment:

• Installation of efficient water heating systems
• Use water saving devices for toilets, urinals, sinks, and showers
• Use solar panels at the Recreation Centers at Eastridge and Westridge
• Purchase and lease hybrid vehicles 
• Program the energy efficient HVAC units to heat and cool at specific times and areas as needed. Also, installed thermal equalizing fans.
• Use energy efficient lighting fixtures and bulbs. Use motion sensors and program lighting for more efficiency. 
• Recycle electronics, paper, plastics, light bulbs, dry cell batteries, and aluminum
• Use mulching mowers 
• Use computerized weather based irrigation controllers for landscapes 
• Maintain a ColoradoScape demonstration garden at Eastridge 
• Maintain native grasses around the Recreation Center at Southridge
•  "Just read it, don't print it" has become standard practice at the HRCA, and when practical, many documents are saved electronically.
