Green Building

Time Warner’s divisions use the lens of green building when embarking on new real estate development, retrofitting efforts or retrocommissioning endeavors. For example, HBO improved the efficiency of its New York office by completing cost-saving efficiency measures, such as insulating the steam pipes that enter the building and improving cooling efficiency in the data center.

AOL – LEED Certification
In the U.S., the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating SystemTM is an accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings.. In 2006 and 2007, AOL built or renovated four buildings using the LEED design standards as guidance. AOL’s new childcare center, which is anticipated to be the first childcare facility in Virginia that is LEED-Silver certified, was completed in November 2007 and AOL’s headquarters building in New York City is also targeted to be certified to LEED-Silver standards. MapQuest buildings in Denver and Pennsylvania, reflect green design standard-swith renewable materials (bamboo flooring, recycled content countertops), low volatile paints, carpets, and furniture, and energy management systems.

Warner Bros. – Solar Powered Building
In 2004, Warner Bros.’ retrofitted the Interna-tional Television Distribution (ITD) building in Burbank,CA. This retrofit cut energy use in the building by 40% and subsequently earned it a 2006 Green Building of the Year award from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA). In addition, in 2006 Warner Bros. installed a 72-kilowatt solar electrical system, the first in the industry, on the historic Mill Building where skilled craftsmen build sets for the company’s film and television shows. This solar system generates enough clean, renewable energy each year to power the equivalent of approximately 25 homes.

Time Inc. and partners expanded the ReMix program to promote recycling in NYC.


Warner Bros.' LEED Silver certified green building is the first in the industry.


In 2007, Time Inc.'s IPC Media moved into their environmentally friendly headquarters the Blue Fin Building in London.
