Sustainable sites
TI's manufacturing and office buildings are more than just a place to work. They serve as a common space for collaboration and incubators for new ideas and new technology. How we build and operate these facilities is an integral part of our current and long-term sustainability.
According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), U.S. residential and commercial building construction and operation consumes 73 percent of electricity, 40 percent of primary energy (e.g., oil, natural gas), 40 percent of raw materials and 14 percent of potable water, and generates 38 percent of carbon emissions. We believe it is critical to improve operational efficiencies while also reducing TI's environmental impact and operating expenses.
One of the most difficult challenges facing our industry related to building operations is reducing the amount of energy required to produce semiconductors and to contain the associated utility costs. We use sustainable materials and practices and retrofit our existing commercial and manufacturing facilities to operate more efficiently and sustainably.
