Apartments and condos present numerous opportunities for energy efficiency, solar, and sustainability initiatives. Investments are typically driven by who pays the utility bills:
- Common areas are often a focus because the owner pays the expenses
- Opportunities typically include water heating and fixtures, common area lighting and HVAC, parking facilities, and recreation areas
- When owners pay for all utilities, any and all green initiatives are fair game
Beyond improving the cash flow for a community, green buildings can help attract and retain occupants. Further, in many markets there are financial incentives available to offset the initial cost of retrofitting apartments and boost returns.
The timing is ideal to take action:
- Lower operating costs
- Capture time-sensitive incentives
- Attract environmentally conscious tenants
