ARBOREEL

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
WHAT IS ARBOREEL?
ARBOREEL is an environmental initiative for managing the ongoing operations and maintenance of existing cinemas, industry suppliers and service providers. Arboreel identifies and rewards best practices and provides a plan/template to:
  • use less energy and water,
  • improve the indoor environment, and
  • uncover and correct wasteful operating inefficiencies

Arboreel is about transforming businesses into an invironmentally sustainable building through the implementation of a compliance and certification process.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ARBOREEL?

Arboreel helps reduce operating costs, saves on utilities' expense, reduces a business's environmental impact, enhances its marketability, and greatly improves customer goodwill - without the requirement of major infrastructure upgrades. Additionally, attaining industry-recognized Arboreel Certification ensures a business reaches its minimal sustainable potential and energy and environmental efficiency.

HOW IS ARBOREEL DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMS?

Arboreel certifies a business's sustainable operations and creates a plan for ensuring that performance over time. Arboreel evaluates the physical systems but, more importantly, the way it is managed and maintained. A rating and certification system specific to the Cinema industry, Arboreel is based upon and is a path toward attaining the globally-recognized U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) Certification.

HOW DO I KNOW IF ARBOREEL IS RIGHT FOR MY BUSINESS?

Arboreel is a three level program. The prerequisites for each must be met before moving to the next level. Arboreel is unique in that it is entirely at the client's discretion as to what level of compliance they attain. They can stop or postpone the process at any time if they believe they have attained the level that meets their standard of environmental sustainability. The three levels are: Acorn, Sapling, and Oak. Participating in Arboreel is cost-effective and its implementation guarantees savings and efficiencies over the life-cycle of the building.

HOW WAS THE ARBOREEL PROGRAM DEVELOPED?

Arboreel was conceived and developed through the joint efforts of Screentrade Magazine and Entertainment Equipment Corporation and is based upon the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Rating System. USGBC is an affiliate of the International Green Building Council - the global authority on construction and operation of environmentally-sustainable commercial and residential buildings.
