  • ABBC 2016 Annual Report
    IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, Mayor Kasim Reed INTRODUCTION | 03 IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.

  • 1- BUCKHEAD HERITAGE SOCIETY ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Interview with Cecil A. Alexander January 23, 2010 Q: Interviewer CA: Cecil A
    BUCKHEAD HERITAGE SOCIETY ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Interview with Cecil A. Alexander January 23, 2010 Q: Interviewer CA: Cecil Alexander HA: Helen Alexander Q: No, you are perfect. You look good. This is an interview with Cecil A. Alexander of Atlanta, Georgia, an accomplished architect and civil activist. This interview is being conducted on January 23, 2010 at his residence on River Road. The interviewers are, Mera Cardenas, Chad Wright and Wright Mitchell representing the Buckhead Heritage Society of Atlanta, Georgia. That is the formality. I think from there, you know, Wright mentioned the topics that he wanted to kind of touch base on and you mentioned that you were born in Virginia Highlands and moved. CA: No I was born on Forrest Avenue in my grandmother’s house, which is now Ralph McGill Boulevard. Forrest Avenue was named for the general who said if you want to win you have got to get there firstest with the mostest. But he was a fine general but he was one of the organizers of the Klan. Q: Right. Nathan Bedford Forrest. CA: Yes. And my father didn’t like living on a street named for Nathan Bedford Forrest and he always spelled it with one R and said it was named for the great trees that used to line the street there. But when I was I guess about 3 or 4 we moved to St. Charles Place, which is part of Atkins Park. There are three streets there, St. Louis, St. Augustine and St. Charles, a very saintly place to grow up.
