During the operation of the Exeter Residences and 888 Boylston, the particular owner
will examine the possibility of implementing the following measures to protect air
quality and water quality, promote water and energy conservation, reduce solid and
hazardous waste and encourage recycling. Tenants of 888 Boylston also will be
encouraged to follow sustainable practices through a Tenant Operation Manual.
These measures may feature:
Including trash disposal and recycling areas.
Installing sensor-operated sinks and toilets in public restrooms.
Exploring opportunities to conserve energy and resources during design
development.
Examining whether unoccupied spaces are consuming only the energy necessary
to maintain operational safety and building security.
Directing exterior lighting downward and providing shields to reduce glare,
where applicable.
The Exeter Residences and 888 Boylston transportation study is discussed in detail in
the NPC/PNF Chapter 5 with updates to that discussion found in this DPIR Chapter
4. Relevant to matters of responsible and sustainable development, the following
areas will be included, where feasible in building operations.
Exeter Residences will join the Prudential Center’s Transportation Management
Organization (TMO), of which Boston Properties is already a member. The TMO has
a transportation coordinator and sponsors the following programs:
Transportation Day events which educate tenants on transportation
opportunities to the Center and provides information on MBTA, carpool and
vanpool programs, walk and bike to work programs, etc.;
A segment in the quarterly CenterScene newsletter that provides detailed
information on the TMO’s programs;
Program recruitment for the Artery Business Committee's Transportation
Management Association (ABC TMA), whose programs focus on decreasing
single-drivers and getting people to commute via other methods of
transportation;
Bike rack areas located throughout the Prudential Center, both outside (Boylston
and Bridge Court entrances) and inside (Orange level of the south garage).
