For an honest evaluation of The Salamander Reservoir, let's continue the 'E' Word: Environment. Environment is a pretty broad term nowadays, but let's 'think big' and put The Salamander Reservoir in the context of our planet. According to an article in #Propmodo, Joe Biden wants to reduce greenhouse gases by 50%, and is targeting commercial real estate.

If, by using a fraction less of utility costs to prevent unnecessary heating expenditures, building owners and managers can help to reduce save energy!
