Pet Haus

 

Level of Certification: Ramping Up

Improvements Made: Installed a Thermal Entrance Door to minimize air infiltration and heat loss. Upgraded lighting to LEDs, with an estimated annual savings of  $415 and 3,771 kilowatt hours for the lighting upgrade. This is a return on investment (ROI) of 6 months!

Other: In addition to upgrading their entry door and lighting through the RSBP, Pet Haus has also previously taken many actions to be Resource Smart, such as sourcing local and made in Colorado pet products, offering whole, raw, organic and non-GMO pet food options, using green cleaning products, offering biodegradable plastic bags for products, accepting drop-off plastic bags for re-use, using slow-drip irrigators and xeriscape landscaping, installing low-flow toilets and sink aerators, recycling, not printing receipts unless requested by customer, offering in-store trainings on pet nutrition and hosting Humane Society Adopt-a-Thons, among other activities.

Visit them online at www.pethaus.net or stop by their shop at 1444 Main Ave for some pet supplies and to check out their new door and lighting!
