Energy Conservation

Across Cox Enterprises, programs are in place to conserve energy. Some of the projects include: energy-efficient building designs; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and lighting, among others. To date, Cox's Energy Conservation projects have reduced more than 16,000 tons of carbon.

A sampling of Cox's Energy Conservation:

  • Cox Enterprises' corporate headquarters facility in Atlanta received the ENERGY STAR certification as a result of its eco-friendly design features and usage.
  • In New England, Cox Communications has an advanced lighting and HVAC control system that automatically shuts down portions of the building during off-hours. This equipment is expected to yield a 30 percent energy savings. Aging boilers were replaced with new energy-efficient boiler systems that reduce energy consumption by 40 percent.
  • WPXI-TV, a Cox television station in Pittsburgh, constructed an eco-friendly building from the ground up. Seventy-five percent of the building has a raised floor, which makes heating and cooling the building 25 percent more efficient.
