Wyndham Walking Its Green Talk at New Global Headquarters

PARSIPPANY, N.J. - Looking down on the roof of Wyndham Worldwide's new headquarters on a sunny day could be hazardous to your eyes. The 83,000 square feet of white roof helps keep the building cool during the summer. It is just one of the many green features found at Wyndham's three-level corporate office.The complex opened earlier this year in February and more than 800 employees moved there in April. Wyndham is pursuing the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Commercial Interiors designation for the building. The company expects to earn LEED Silver for its efforts to make its new home a highly efficient and healthy place to work.

During its construction, about 80 percent of construction material was diverted from the local landfill. Numerous elements make the headquarters building efficient. Heating and cooling systems are zoned, energy-efficient lighting and motion sensors were installed, large windows maximize the potential for natural light to enter, low-flow toilets and faucets keep water consumption down, well water is used for irrigation, low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paint, carpeting and furniture was used throughout, and cubicle walls consist of recycled steel and aluminum and 100 percent recycled particleboard.

Wyndham's green purchasing plan is reflected in its purchase of recycled paper products for bathrooms and the selection of FSC certified paper for directories. Thanks to a paper reduction campaign across the United States in Group RCI—a Wyndham company—direct-mail has been reduced by 5 million pieces. A total of $200,000 has been saved by Wyndham at its headquarters by going to centralized printing. To encourage employees to drive less, amenities such as a gym, green dry cleaner (Green Apple Organic Dry Cleaning), credit union, café and cafeteria, and gift shop with items such as milk and eggs help reduce the amount of miles employees have to drive.
