Green Banking
GUIDE TO ENERGY PROGRAMS.
Rockville Bank has long been a leader in Community Banking... helping you save money and providing educational programs to help you manage your finances. Now we’re leading the way to help Connecticut save energy and improve efficiency, in order to protect the environment. It all adds up to a healthier place for our customers, employees, community and our planet. Our goal is to follow the principles of the LEED program established by the U.S. Green Building Council.
We’re Rockville Bank. A community bank that knows we’re all dependent on a healthy environment.
WHAT DOES “LEED” CERTIFICATION MEAN?
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. To be awarded LEED certification our building was built using material, processes and philosophies which will improve the overall environment and promote operational efficiency that uses less energy and natural resources.
CONNECTICUT’S FIRST GREEN BANK.
Rockville Bank’s branch at 768 North Main Street in Manchester is the first bank to be built in Connecticut to adopt the LEED principles, incorporating the latest techniques of energy efficient design.
GREEN BANKING MEANS MORE THAN MONEY.
Our commitment to green goes beyond money. We’re committed to helping the environment. That’s why our new Manchester branch is the first bank office in Connecticut to lead the way in green banking.
Your friends at Rockville Bank encourage you to take steps to conserve energy and help improve our environment. This brochure defines the LEED program and describes some of the steps we’ve taken. We challenge you to take a “LEED”ership step today. Leading by example is what’s being Connecticut’s Best Community Bank is all about.
HEALTHIER FOR OUR CUSTOMERS, OUR EMPLOYEES, OUR COMMUNITY, OUR PLANET.
Improved fresh air circulation and water- based low VOC paints with low emissions coupled with improved construction techniques all contribute to making Rockville 
Bank a healthier place for our customers, our employees and our planet. Design features include energy efficient equipment, and lighting controls to adjust the output for bright or cloudy days as well as time of day.
ECO-FRIENDLY PARKING.
Some of our employees may even ride their bikes 
to work so we provided bike stands and a place to take a shower.
ECO CONVERSIONS AT EVERY BRANCH & OFFICE.
We’ve converted all our electric lights to energy efficient lighting in all our branches and offices.
ECOSMART AT ALL OUR BRANCHES.
All equipment we purchase meets the “Energy Star” rating, whether 
it’s the heating or air conditioning system or a refrigerator.
Each branch is dedicated to improving our environment and our goal is to recycle 80% of all waste materials. 
And with two hybrids, the Bank’s vehicles and courier services promote energy efficiency.
