Since our LEED gold-certified Restaurant Support Center (RSC) opened in September 2009, we are using 31 percent less energy per square foot compared to our former corporate headquarters. We also operate a 1.1 megawatt solar energy installation on our campus, which is expected to supply 18 percent of our RSC's annual energy needs.
