IMT receives 2009 Building Excellence Award

For the second year in a row, the City of Boise has partnered with the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) to present the Building Excellence Awards. The awards honor building owners who have improved their building's safety, accessibility or sustainability.

Increasing Building Sustainability

Idaho Mountain Touring, Thornton Oliver Keller and Balihoo were recognized for recent green building upgrades.

• Idaho Mountain Touring added 8,000 square feet to their building and created a single tenant space out of multiple buildings utilizing green products to reduce energy usage.
• Thornton Oliver Keller completed a green upgrade to its tenant space which it uses to show clients green products “in action” and to document real-life energy savings.
• Balihoo completed a 9,345 square-foot green tenant improvement project which showed creative reuse of materials found in the existing space and other reclaimed materials to create a space that fits the energy of a new start-up company.

The store was also mentioned in Sunset Magazine's June issue for a great bike shop to go to in Boise. Check out the article link below.
