SCC Wishes You A Happy and Prosperous New Year

January 30, 2008

SCC Wishes You a Happy & Prosperous New Year!!
 
 
Salem Conference Center Gives Back to the Community
 
With facilities that can accommodate up to 1,000 guests per meal, you can imagine the amount of leftovers that our facility incurs. The Salem Conference Center donates roughly 1 ton of food each year to the local Union Gospel Mission. These donations include various types of nourishing food and are donated on a regular basis, depending upon our flow of business. Our surplus food is a valuable resource. Keeping it out of the garbage eliminates waste, feeds the hungry and gives everyone on our staff something to smile about. Our entire SCC team shares this thought and we will continue to give back to our community in this way for years to come.
 
Salem’s Union Gospel Mission was foundedin 1953 as a Christian ministry in Marion County, Oregon. The UGM offers assistance, hope and a new way to live to the needy, homeless, addicted and overwhelmed. Thousands of people in need go to the UGM each year for assistance. The UGM offers meals, showers, shelter, clothing, as well as adult education and life-skill programs. 
 
 
SCC is an Offical Member of the U.S. Green Building Council
 
The Salem Conference Center is committed to preserving the environment. This was the objective for SCC from the ground up. Several initiatives have already been implemented throughout the facility and others are in the works.  SCC’s management team remains committed to exploring new opportunities to better conserve and reuse our valuable resources.
 
  • SCC has its own water tower with a closed loop system located on the roof. This system allows only evaporated water to leave our heating and cooling system thus conserving water. The water tower also utilizes outside rain water and chills the water in order to conserve energy.
  • SCC owns an energy recovery unit (ERU). This system draws in outside air and mixes it with inside air for use within the facility to meet temperature needs.
  • The Terrazzo floor, located in the Santiam Gallery, is made of recycled material from the building that stood here previously.
  • The beautiful Worthwood floor in our Willamette Foyer is made from recycled plywood ends.
  • The carpet in the hallway of our upper level is made from a recycled nylon and plastic mix.
  • All of SCC’s air handling units and water heaters are 95% efficient.
  • SCC has been successful in reducing their thermal footprint by using a low reflecting membrane roof.
  • SCC uses low wattage florescent lighting throughout the facility.
  • SCC purchases all green seal certified janitorial supplies.
  • SCC purchases as much energy star equipment as possible.
  • SCC purchases a percentage of Portland General Electric’s wind power.
  • SCC is a proud member of the United States Green Building Council.
 
The Salem Conference Center is dedicated to the practice of increasing the efficiency of our building and we encourage and promote recycling, energy and water efficiency in order to reduce our impact on the environment.
