Equity Office operates offices across the country but is installing the green technologies only in the 20 structures in and around Boston, beginning what could become a national effort, company executives told Boston Globe.

The initiative will bring Boston’s stock of green-certified office buildings to 34 from 23. Company executives estimate that Equity Office will save $1.5 million in electricity costs by 2012 on six buildings where upgrades are underway. The company also expects to spend about $4.7 million on a pilot program that includes upgrading four buildings.
