Water Conservation
Our water conservation measures include installing low-flow fixtures and appliances, high-efficiency pool pumps, drought-tolerant landscaping and drip irrigation systems, and benchmarking our communities’ water consumption to identify opportunities for improvement.
Energy Efficiency
We continually strive to reduce our communities’ energy usage through performance benchmarking, fixture and equipment retrofits, solar installations, the use of energy-efficient appliances, and the installation of cool roofs and green insulation.
Green Building Upgrades
All major renovations and retrofits use sustainable design attributes in order to reduce environmental impacts, increase building resiliency, and offer sustainable choices to our residents.
Waste Management
Each of our communities participates in municipal recycling programs and composting where available. We prioritize purchasing building materials, carpets, paper products, and office materials that are sustainably sourced and contain recycled content.
Healthy Environments
We use zero-VOC paint with zero-VOC colorants to improve indoor air quality and provide a healthy, comfortable environment for our employees and residents. Many of our communities are located in walkable locations close to transit.
